ABOUT

YOUTH SERVED IN 2023:
1,205

Northwest Youth Services' mission is to affirm youth experience and autonomy as we work together to foster collective healing and justice in order to dismantle the systems of oppression that perpetuate youth homelessness. At Northwest Youth Services, we believe this is attainable by focusing on participants’ holistic selves and well-being, not just their trauma or symptoms.

 

We employ radical innovative services and care models that go beyond physical well-being to build social capital in partnership with young people, 13 to 24-year-olds experiencing homelessness or unstable housing. Our philosophy of care centers around three concepts: Learn, Create, and Connect.

"Northwest Youth Services saved my life back when I was 18. I was just out of foster care and on the street. (In 2oo4). I was provided with an apartment at the Primrose Lane apartments , was later employed at a summer job as part of the "youth survey intern" project, and managed to save up over a $1ooo working with my case manager who I'm still friends with to this day. It's been wonderful to see this organization develop and expand.”
