Youth Harbors Program
YouthHarbors works with youth who are currently homeless or about to become homeless and unaccompanied, or without the support of a family. The program offers a wide variety of assistance to these youth with the aim of allowing them to stay enrolled in high school, complete their high school diploma, gain independent living skills and continue toward future success. The program works with homeless youth to rapidly re-house them and find sustainable housing that they are able to keep after our financial support finishes. We also work with youth who are in danger of becoming homeless to prevent them losing their housing. This often involves working not just with the youth but also their family or guardian to arrange housing. We also provide a variety of wrap-around support services such as assistance with job searches, connections to tutoring, Financial Literacy workshops, life skills coaching, assistance with college applications, and career planning advice. This blend of services is essential to making sure that youth not only have a home now, but also in the future. Housing alone is not enough to help youth complete high school and go on to be successful adults.
