Our Mission

Our Mission Statement

“At Youth Harbor, we believe no child is ever beyond hope. Guided by Christ’s love, we open our doors to runaway youth in their darkest moments, We provide a soft place to land and a steady hand to hold for those who have nowhere else to turn. By offering a space where they are truly heard and never judged, we help them find healing from trauma and the spiritual strength to thrive. Together, we are breaking the cycle of homelessness, one heart at a time.”
Suicide is now the leading cause of death in the homeless youth population. Mortality rates due to suicide in this area can be as much as 20 times higher than in the general population. It is estimated that annually, over 5000 kids die due to disease, violence or suicide due to the stress they were running from coupled with the stress of having to live on the street alone.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children estimates that within 48 hours of hitting the streets, one-third of these kids are lured or recruited into the underground world of prostitution and pornography.
Statisically, 65% of runaways are girls. The average age of a runaway is 14.7 years old.
“Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven”.
 
Matthew 18:10 NKJV
