YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SHELTER

 ​IN THE MID-COLUMBIA AREA FOR HOMELESS YOUTH

Our Mission

​The mission of the Youth Empowerment Shelter (YES) is to provide youth in crisis a place of physical and emotional safety while assisting them to build positive relationships and develop their individual potentials.

WELCOME!

We are here almost every day.

You are welcome any time. You are welcome to stay for a short time (1 or 2 days) or a long time (several months). You can come and take a break from whatever is going on. Or you can come just to talk about what options there are. To check in, you can bring along a  parent or a case worker or an uncle or a therapist or a teacher or a pastor . . .  or you can just bring yourself. 

There are 2 qualifying criteria:
1 - you are a  safe person for our household 
2 - your parent or guardian or whatever says it's okay for you to stay.

514 E. 9th Street, The Dalles, OR

     If you have a need of shelter, or know someone who does, give us a call at
541 705-4777. 

It's totally voluntary - the CHOICE of a youth -
with consent of a guardian
