MissionSAFE works intensely with hundreds of youths annually, and reaches many more through community and special events.

Many of our youth have experienced chronic complex trauma and we use a trauma-informed perspective in all our work. Youth benefit greatly from the sense of belonging and connection with caring staff and have the opportunity to build their confidence through small and steady accomplishments and meeting challenges with the constant support of staff. We meet youth where they are – through schools, peers, and families – and outreach continually.

Our goal is to improve…

Relationships in all areas of youths’ lives

Fitness and nutrition

Communication and problem-solving skills

Academic effort and performance

Job readiness and career exploration

Leadership and community engagement

Self-knowledge
