Every donation makes a difference. Youth Focus is funded through a combination of state and federal grants, and private donations.

#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, an outpatient counseling program, 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.
