BIG NEWS! We are excited to share our schedule and community happenings for Youth HOPE Month 2025! Formerly known as National Runaway Prevention Month, Youth HOPE (Homelessness Outreach Prevention Education) Month is our time to shine a light on youth homelessness, get the word out about our programs and services, and unite the community in service to our at-risk and homeless youth.
We're going all out this year, hosting Skate Park After Dark events for youth and their families at SIX local skateparks. Each event will include hot food from local vendors, fun activities with our staff and YAMs, and fun surprises (visits from friendly local goats and llamas? Facepainting? Karaoke?!).
