Youth Talk United

Our Vision
A community where every young person has access to essential resources, supportive relationships, and opportunities to move toward stability and a brighter future.

Our Mission
Our mission is to improve quality-of-life outcomes for young people by providing essential supplies and connecting youth experiencing homelessness, housing instability, or unmet essential needs with community resources and supportive services.

Our Approach

We Listen to Young People

We believe young people should have a voice in identifying the needs that affect their lives. We seek to use youth feedback and partner observations to guide the supplies and resources we provide.

We Address Practical Needs

Basic personal-care and household necessities can make a meaningful difference in a young person's ability to participate in school, employment, housing services, and everyday activities.

We Believe in Collaboration

Youth Talk United works alongside organizations already providing specialized services to young people. Our goal is to complement their work, respond to unmet essential needs, and help youth access the resources available in their communities.

Our Commitment

Youth Talk United is committed to treating every young person with dignity, respecting their circumstances, protecting their privacy, and using community resources responsibly.

We believe that meeting an immediate need can be an important step toward helping a young person access additional support and opportunities.
