Volunteer
Volunteer opportunities vary based on our need, and your availability and unique skill set. We are always in need of extra hands with open hearts.
Every donation makes a difference. Youth Focus is funded through a combination of state and federal grants, and private donations.
Spread the Word
Tour our facilities, share a post on social media, invite us to speak at your event, tell a friend or youth in need about the work we do.
#GivingTuesday is a Day Dedicated to Generosity and Giving.
Please join Youth Focus on this day when our communities and businesses come together to support the greater good. You can share the good news of our campaign, sign up to be an ambassador, help your loved ones and neighbors and even give if you can. Every donation and act of kindness counts.
Youth Focus creates safe places for vulnerable youth in crisis. Programs for youth include a crisis shelter that operates around-the-clock 365 days a year, three supportive housing programs for youth experiencing homelessness, and the Safe Place program. Sustainable funding is vital to keeping our doors open for youth in crisis, and we depend on financial support from our local community. Funding is provided by government grants, corporations and foundations, and individuals like you.
