About Choices for Youth

Choices for Youth is committed to building programs, systems, and opportunities that are focused on providing individualized support for young people, celebrating who they are, and working together to unlock their potential to build a brighter future.​


Childhood trauma, mental illness, addictions, incarceration, family breakdown, poverty, violence, abuse, and exploitation are the tragic set of common experiences of the over 1,000 young people we work with each and every year.​


For these youth, the average age of their first experience with homelessness is just 16.


Walk and fundraise with us on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 for the Coldest Night of the Year and you can play a vital role in raising critical support for those most vulnerable right here in our community.
