Current Projects
community center
Our most urgent need is a community center facility, with space for an office, computer lab, food pantry, and kitchen. The drop-in center will be open for young people ages 13-18 years old that need tutoring support, food, and clothing. We will also continue to offer our college and career counseling, and mental health case management.
Your contributions will go towards leasing a building, renovations, purchasing tablets, internet networking, and the building of our computer lab. The center will be the hub for students to feel safe, complete school work, job readiness training, and work on college and financial applications.
Campus & Site Development
Haven's House organizational model is to co-locate with partner agencies that are established leaders in some of our city's most impoverished neighborhoods. Together, we provide safe, small learning communities where local young people thrive. However, given the economic condition of these areas, the aging facilities we use are often badly in need of cosmetic upgrades. So, we are looking for corporate partners who would value the opportunity to paint, construct, reorganize, plant - whatever is necessary to bring more personality to our campuses. Our students deserve the best.
leave your mark
As your company seeks to fulfill its corporate responsibility initiative, Haven's House Youth Services would be honored to explore where our priorities align. Below are some specific areas where our programs need help. We would value the opportunity to create a customized employee engagement experience that helps meet your philanthropic goals while assisting Haven's House Youth Services to achieve our mission. Please contact Abeni Carr, Executive Director to plan a day your employees will not forget.
Transportation
Our youth often require transportation to and from school, to job interviews, field trips, and college visits. We are seeking a partnership or donations of 8-12 seat passenger vehicles.
Office Furniture
As we continue to expand our services and offices, we are in need of new office and residential furniture. Donations of gently used and new office and residential furniture are greatly appreciated.
