Help Support the Wellbeing of At-risk Youth.
Everyone should have a place to call home. That’s why at Horizons for Youth we ensure every young person who comes to our shelter for support is made to feel included. We give them a space to feel safe and be their true selves. In this way we can also provide support which is tailored to them, their identity, and their experiences. Once this happens, they can rebuild their lives and escape from the cycle of homelessness.
Homeless youth are often separated from their community – their friends and family. They’re left without the support they need to guide and mentor them through their most formative years. Instead, they’re forced to become an ‘adult’, alone, overnight.
At Horizons for Youth, we provide youth like William with emotional support through our Mental Health & Wellness Program, as well as working alongside them to create long term goals to ensure that they have the best chance at life.
You can help change the course of a youth’s life for the better by giving today. Your gift will provide at-risk youth the support they need to leave homelessness behind.
At Horizons for Youth, we aim to provide individualized care that caters to the resident's needs.
