Until the opening of Youth Futures Shelter Home many youth resorted to sleeping on the streets or in camps in the mountains.   Youth Futures has created a secure place for these kids, where they can feel safe and supported.  Our home has 16 beds to shelter youth ages 12-17 who have no other place to go.  

It is estimated that approximately 5000 youth experience homelessness, in Utah, each year.

We Envision a world where all our youth have a safe, supportive and affirming place to call home.

Mission: Youth Futures provides safe shelter, collaborative resources, respectful guidance and diverse support to homeless, unaccompanied, runaway and at-risk youth in Northern Utah.

Our Program: connects each youth, on an individual basis, with food, housing and resoursed to build skills that are needed to support a healthy futures.  Each youth will be guided in a loving, supportive and productive way, to facilitate their own personal path for their future.  We will always collaborate with the youth's family of origin, first, to facilitate understanding and re-unification.

 Our purpose: To provide unaccompanied, runaway and homeless youth with a safe and nurturing environment where they can develop the needed skills to become active, healthy, successful members of our future world.

Our goal: To eliminate the need for another youth to be left alone on the street; our arms are open to provide them with Shelter, Support, Resources and Guidance.
