Every year Second Story gives a few holidays gifts to the youth in our programs to help make their holidays brighter, and we need your help to make it happen.
Providing the support that every young person deserves
Second Story provides safe havens and opportunities to grow and thrive to youth experiencing homelessness and youth and families in crisis. Our programs provide support at critical moments in their lives.
Residential Support
Our residential programs provide housing, counseling, and life skills support for teenagers experiencing crisis and young people experiencing homelessness, including pregnant and parenting young women and their children.
Community-Based Support
Our community-based programs provide after-school homework help, life skills support, and safe havens for 2nd-12th graders in vulnerable communities, as well as drop-in support for their families.
