Northwest Youth Services
For 50 years, Northwest Youth Services has been a doorway to safety and a pathway to progress for thousands of young people in our region and with your donation we can continue to work across Whatcom, Skagit, and Island Counties to end youth homelessness and empower young people to build a solid foundation for their future. You help keep doors open, lights on, warm food on the table, and support in place for youth who have nowhere else to turn.

Housing
We offer a continuum of safe, supportive housing to youth ages 13-24. From the first night until a permanent solution is found, our doors are always open.
Basic Needs & Belonging
At our drop-in centers, we provide a warm, home-like environment with food, clothing, laundry facilities, showers, and most importantly, a place to rest, connect, and restore dignity. Our outreach teams also bring supplies and care to youth throughout the region.
Family & Stability Support
Youth receive individualized support to pursue education or employment, reconnect with family or caring adults, and build lasting stability through community and resources.
By donating to Northwest Youth Services, you are investing in the future of our community. Together, we can help youth build the skills and confidence they need to succeed. Join us in making a difference today—your contribution can transform lives.

Annual Report
We embrace a healing-centered approach through Learning, Connecting, and Creating. This involves constantly asking ourselves: What are young people learning, and what are we learning? How are we creating and building young people's social capital? In what ways are we connecting them to wellness through a healing journey? Our ultimate goal is to uplift young individuals beyond the duration of our services.
