Nexus Youth and Families

Mission

Restoring hope, building futures, and strengthening our communities through programs with youth, young adults and families.

Description

Formerly Auburn Youth Resources. We are a nonprofit with a dogged commitment to youth and their better future in the greater South King County area. Currently Nexus offers a continuum of care for nearly 5,000 vulnerable youth, young adults and their family members annually, and reaches out to another 5,000 each year with services at 36 sites (including 28 schools across S. King County, five sites in Auburn, and three in Enumclaw). Nexus Youth and Families is focused on two core direct services: Behavioral Health (integrating mental health counseling for individuals, groups and families, and chemical dependency prevention, treatment, and aftercare); and Homeless Services (including street outreach, the Drop-In Center, and supported housing).

Our vision is that every youth and family is healthy, housed and connected in their community.
