Breaking Cycles of Youth Homelessness

Our Ark is a grassroot community base nonprofit organization which is representative of homeless street young adults which provides education, by providing individuals resources with social services, job training as well as job placement. Our Ark does not have strict financial criteria – its purpose is to serve as a safety net and youth self-sufficiency. We attain this goal by providing mentorships, youth life skills, job training, and confidence building, within all of our programs. We believe our success revolves around the success of our youth.

 We are more than just a youth organization - it’s a way of life. We include close communities, neighborhood groups and organizations, and community action agencies to be a part of this journey. At Our Ark, we care about what we do and strive to empower the lives of youth in Thurston County through our wide range of programs. We help shape our youth into young leaders of the future so they walk out of our hands prepared to take on whatever comes their way.
