Our Need PDF Print
jezebel.jpg As Transitional Youth moves forward to house, feed, educate, and employ multiple youth at a time, we need all the support you can provide. In addition to financial contributions which are welcomed, we require everyday items such as clothing and daily living supplies to maintain positive momentum. Financial contributions will help:
  • Continue our outreach to youth on the streets.
  • Raise enough funds to successfully open and operate "Home on the Range," an intermediary rural ranch home environment to support youth in their transitions from street life to home life and ultimate independence.
  • Ensure that our residential homes have enough funding and operational capital to assist in meeting the high demand.
  • Be able to accommodate smaller, ongoing daily living expenses, such as Tri-Met bus passes, appropriate job interview clothing, and educational supplies costs.
