Are you a young
person or do you know
one who is homeless
or at-risk of
homelessness?
We use positive
youth development techniques to identify strengths and achieve
goals related to
housing, education, employment and
life skills.
Programs
Youth and families are resilient and strong. Even small positive steps will help youth and families thrive.
NEKYS delivers Youth programs in the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont. These distinct programs work together to form a support network for our most vulnerable youth and families, ensuring they have access to services that meet their unique needs.
NEKYS Youth Programs provide:
- Support to youth 12-22 who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, have current or past involvement with foster care, have mental health issues, substance misuse or legal issues, are pregnant and/or parenting.
- Support to youth 16-24 who are stably housed, but have mental health issues, substance misuse or legal issues, are pregnant and/or parenting.
- Access to short-term and long-term housing.
- Opportunities to connect with supportive adults in a safe, supportive environment.
- Guidance to support healthy choices and connections with peers for opportunities to “give back” through community service.
- 24/7 staff to respond to youth/families in crisis.
