About
The Save Our Youth Foundation envisions
a community without violence.
A place that supports everyone's mental health and collective growth. Our focal point is to build back our communities
one neighborhood at a time.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to restore "healthy" mental health to our high-risk youth and their families. The goal is to empower them to illuminate a positive version of themselves that will help them grow into productive adults. Our mission is to help them reconnect to love, hope, and understanding to develop coping skills on a firsthand experience. Our mission is to bridge the gaps between trauma, mental health, substance abuse, education and transition housing.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every youth thrives regardless of their past circumstances. We strive for a world where homelessness among youth and youth adults are not just a crisis to be managed but a problem to be solved.
Our program model is person-center. It empowers youth and young adults through their own success. We envision a safe haven but a transformative experience. We see a community where the potential of every young person is unlocked, where they transition from homelessness to stability, from uncertainty to purpose, and from dependence to independence.
We envision a society where our alumni are not just survivors but leaders, change-makers, and success stories, giving back to their communities and inspiring others to overcome adversity.
