Our mission is to provide a loving and nurturing home at BridgeWay Shelter for youth removed from unsafe environments due to abuse, neglect, or trafficking; and to offer mental health counseling, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention to youth ages 6–17.

All of our services are provided at no cost to our clients.
 

Your ornament is more than a gift; it is
a symbol of hope, safety, and healing for vulnerable youth in our community. You can extend that impact even further by making your own donation to
YES to YOUTH.

Our impact is powerful and truly life-changing for the youth we serve.
