2013 Annual Report
Annual Report 2013 Dear friends, 2013 will forever be remembered as a year in which our community inspired and supported us at a whole new level. YouthCare was facing potential reductions in services associated with funding shifts, and our supporters rose to the occasion. More than ever before, our community dug deep to give, share, and advocate for homeless young people. We could not be more grateful to our circle of friends for allowing YouthCare’s Young Adult Shelter, YouthBuild, and Street Outreach programs to keep up their vital work in Seattle. Our supporters include the City of Seattle, King County, the Raikes Foundation and, of course, the thousands of individuals whose tremendous generosity ensured that so many of Seattle’s homeless youth could access the services they needed to move off the streets and work toward a more stable, secure future. Though the headlines predicted the worst, you stepped in to ensure the best for our young people. In addition to this overwhelming outpouring of support, 2013 also marked the beginning of several important enhancements to our services. We expanded our partnership with Ryther (with whom we’ve worked for more than 30 years) to provide more mental health and chemical dependency counseling options for the youth we serve. We launched a new program aimed at supporting parents of youth at risk of homelessness and preventing young people from ever finding themselves on the streets. And, we helped a record number of young people obtain their GEDs thanks to our dedicated team of instructors, volunteer tutors, and generous funders. Our local and regional collaboration and this community’s extraordinary commitment to addressing youth homelessness has helped us enter our 40th year stronger than ever. Your unflagging dedication allows us to plan for where we will be at 50 years, and beyond. Thank you so much for your invaluable and ongoing partnership, friendship, and support. Sincerely, © Tim Matsui / www.timmatsui.com 1 Melinda A. Giovengo, PhD Executive Director Matthew Turetsky, JD Board Chair YOUTHCARE AT-A-GLANCE Our mission: YouthCare builds confidence and self-sufficiency for homeless youth by providing a continuum of care that includes outreach, basic services, emergency shelter, housing, counseling, education, and employment training.

Engaging homeless youth through cooking Each Tuesday, Jack Koran, YouthCare’s Community Outreach Meal Coordinator, works with up to six young people to create a meal from scratch for themselves and YouthCare’s Young Adult Shelter (YAS) overnight guests. “The cooking class is a perfect engagement activity,” says Ruth Blaw, Director of YouthCare’s James W. Ray Orion Center. “It’s low-barrier, meaning anyone can join in, and it allows youth to connect with staff and other youth in a safe, non-threatening environment.” While deboning a chicken and making dumplings during a recent class, conversations ranged from favorite meals to where someone was staying that night to registering for college courses. Jack appreciates that the class connects to so many other programs at YouthCare. “Reading a recipe all the way through helps build reading skills, and there’s a lot of measuring and math practice for our GED students,” Jack says. Participants can earn community service hours for their high school diploma, and YouthCare’s peer outreach interns are building their leadership skills by helping newcomers feel comfortable in the kitchen. As the participants sit down together to share the meal they’ve prepared, they discuss next week’s menu, a technique that keeps young people coming back each week. 3 ENGAGE Earn trust and meet basic needs PREVENTION EMERGENCY SHELTERS 64 Safe Place responses 554 minors and young adults found safe shelter MEALS & BASIC NEEDS CASE MANAGEMENT 24,781 meals provided 442 young people received support © Tim Matsui / www.timmatsui.com © Tim Matsui / www.timmatsui.com 4 Miss Trudy: the Midnight Star of ISIS For nearly 20 years, Trudy Barry has spent her nights at ISIS House, YouthCare’s transitional living program for LGBTQ homeless youth and their straight allies. As the overnight youth counselor, she has supported young people, laughed with them, cried with them, celebrated their successes, and kept them safe. She has helped hundreds of young people in all these years — more than she can count. Nicknamed the “Midnight Star” by one of her residents (and more commonly known as “Miss Trudy”), she is a constant for so many young people who have only known instability. Over the years at ISIS House, Trudy has learned that regardless of what challenges a young person is experiencing, “most of the time, they just want somebody to listen.” She has spent countless hours doing just that. After dark, hard memories surface for many youth, rendering them more vulnerable than their street-wise daylight personas might indicate. “I’ve had a few kids that really had a hard time sleeping — some had nightmares, just a lot of different things they were going through. Or they can’t sleep; they wake up crying and I talk to them, play games with them, anything to settle their mind.” This late-night counsel stays with residents long after they move on from YouthCare. “I still get calls at work from kids that have been here from years ago just wanting to talk. Late at night, ‘I can’t sleep, Miss Trudy, what are you doing? I’m just calling to talk to you.’” Hearing from these young people — whether they are calling to report good news, such as a new job or a stable apartment, or to discuss a current difficulty — is a reminder that YouthCare serves in many ways as a surrogate family. The ability to call someone who cares at two in the morning is priceless; for many of our youth, current and former, YouthCare staff like Trudy serve as that dependable person. It is those trusting and enduring relationships, that sense of belonging to a community, to a family, that help our youth thrive. The success of our housing programs lies not just in stabilizing a young person for a few months, but in remaining a place to which youth can return and reconnect with years — and even decades — later. 5 STABILIZE A range of housing options to give young people a place to call home 136 young people served 92% occupancy in 18+ housing programs 24/7 on-site staff support © Tim Matsui / www.timmatsui.com 6 Conquering the GED Twenty-year-old David was referred to YouthCare by his parole officer, who encouraged him to enroll in YouthCare’s Barista Training and Education Program (BTEP). David had been in and out of juvenile detention since he was 14 and had been using drugs since the age of ten. His mother’s addiction brought a great deal of instability to his life; he was couch surfing with friends when he first came to YouthCare. He thrived in BTEP and quickly passed all but two of his GED tests. Jill Hansen, GED Program Manager, had a certain sense about David. “From the moment I met him in GED, I knew he would go places,” she said. “Not only is he an incredibly kind and mature young man, but he has a certain dry sense of humor that, when delivered by his deep, radio-like voice, is very funny.” His final GED tests loomed — math and writing. While taking care of his mother and struggling to stay sober himself, he managed to carve out time to study. After months of hard work, David passed his final tests and earned his GED. He now works 30 hours a week, attends daily recovery support group meetings, and has established himself as a leader in his recovery community. YouthCare’s tailored employment and education programs focus and build on young people’s strengths rather than the barriers that have held them back in the past. Thanks to this supportive environment, young people like David gain the confidence to move forward to the next step in their lives ready and prepared to thrive. 7 PREPARE Education and employment programs tailored to the needs of homeless youth and young adults 208 young people 76 received a high school participated in training diploma or GED 183 65 enrolled in post- found a job secondary education © Tim Matsui / www.timmatsui.com 8 From troubled times to stability and motherhood Brittany entered foster care as a young child and, like too many children in that system, was moved between multiple placements. She began running away as a teenager; when she was 15 she ran away from foster care permanently. Two years later, the child welfare system had stopped looking for her; Brittany had been out of school for years, was being sexually exploited, and was pregnant. Around this time, a friend told her about YouthCare’s James W. Ray Orion Center, and she began attending drop-in hours. Slowly, she engaged with staff and learned to trust YouthCare enough to enroll in case management with a staff member who specializes in working with sexually exploited youth and young adults. Her case manager’s kind, gentle, and non-judgmental approach helped Brittany explore her options and make decisions about her future. She moved into a group home and began taking GED classes at the Orion Center. After her son was born, she could only attend class weekly, but she took work home and studied on her own. Within a year, she had obtained her GED. Now, Brittany is enrolled in a medical assistant program at a local vocational institute, earns straight As, and is on track to finish her certificate by the end of 2014. She is permanently housed and is enjoying a stable life with her young child. We know that young people who have experienced sexual exploitation have little reason to trust adults or “the system” that has failed them. Through YouthCare’s Bridge Continuum of Care, we engage young people to meet their unique needs — through dropin hours, educational opportunities, case management, employment training, shelter, or housing. YouthCare’s staff has received training on recognizing signs of exploitation and can link young people to staff members with specialized expertise and experience, so that they can begin to redirect their futures and rebuild their lives. 9 YOUTHCARE’S BRIDGE CONTINUUM OF CARE Services for Sexually Exploited Youth and Young Adults 1 (800) 400-CSEC: 24/7 helpline for sexually exploited youth in King County For youth and young adults ages 12 – 24: Outreach & Identification Meet basic needs and build rapport with trusted adults.

Ray Orion Center! We are grateful for our incredible volunteers, who allow us to do our work better each day. For many of the young people we serve, volunteers are the first trustworthy and safe adults they’ve encountered for a long time. Volunteers often serve as informal mentors and models for how to be good citizens in our community. And the support of volunteers allows us to focus more staff resources on meeting the needs of young people. 12 INDIVIDUAL DONORS $50,000+ Steve and Connie Ballmer Elisabeth Bottler Schultz Family Foundation $25,000 – $49,999 Paula and Bill Clapp Scott and Victoria Eskenazi Lenore Hanauer Ann Williams $10,000 – $24,999 Anonymous (3) Edward Balassanian Benjamin Family Fund Thomas and Sonya Campion The Family Home Foundation Judy and Jeff Greenstein Fred R.
