Together we can change the world for the youth in our community!
Due to several factors, an estimated 5,000 youth in Utah experience homelessness for at least one night a year. As a result of their homelessness, unaccompanied youth face devastating harms and barriers in life, all of which hinder their ability to re-assimilate into society, depress their motivation, and inhibit their becoming independent, successful and contributing members of their families and communities.
Youth Futures delivers emergency overnight and temporary residential beds in our low-barrier shelter facilities, intensive case management, drop-in, street outreach and ongoing supportive services for approximately 750 runaway and homeless youth (RHY) ages 12-18 in Utah. Our intervention programs connect RHY with case management, food, housing and resources while guiding them in a loving, supportive and productive way to build the skills needed to support a successful transition into adulthood.
Your donation will help us provide safe shelter, collaborative resources, respectful guidance and diverse support to homeless, unaccompanied, runaway and at-risk youth throughout Utah. We have shelters located in Ogden, St. George and Cedar City.
