“Huge help for my oldest child when she just needed to feel safe in her own skin... I love NWYS! Keep growing, keep doing what you do! This place offers much needed help, and assesses each individual as how they may be able to help... for all youth... It's so hard to be a teen, sometimes even your family can't be everything or have everything a teen will need for themselves to be just ok being themselves, whether they know what they need or don't know... These people will help. SaveOurKids"
ABOUT

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.
