Thank you to everyone who came out to support Friends of Youth’s Celebration of Youth, highlighting the impact of our Homeless Youth Services and Behavioral Health programs! With the support of our employees, volunteers, community members, and sponsors, we’re close to reaching our fundraising goal, but we still need your help to hit $700,000!


We extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible emcee, Jordan Babineaux, and to our Senior Program Directors, Eric Buley and Brooke Drennon, for their leadership and for graciously hosting the event. We are also deeply grateful to our outstanding panelists, Anthony, Eli, Krystal Kosche, Mackenzie Snell, Demetrius Morgan, and Kathy Opie, whose insights and perspectives made the conversation truly impactful.


Thank you to our Celebration of Youth sponsors and supporters: Amazon, A Platinum Events, Banner Bank, BECU, Brown & Brown, Chateau Retirement, Corient, F5 Networks, Fulcrum, Gesa Credit Union, HUB, Liberty Mutual, Logic 20/20, Microsoft, Northwest Children’s Foundation, Puget Sound Energy, Rod Skaar, Sher Partners, Sparkman Cellars, WAFD Bank, Wingspeak Productions, and Zachor, Stock and Krepps.


We shared this impactful video at our event, honoring our 75th Anniversary and legacy, and exploring how our critical services and programs help youth and young adults meet their goals with stability and support. Here it is for you to view, share, and enjoy: 


We invite you to our next Celebration of Youth event on May 8, spotlighting Foster Care services. Join us to learn more, celebrate hope, and explore how we can work together to build a better future for youth impacted by the foster care system.

The Golf Orbit game opens up opportunities for players to connect with a vibrant golf community, where you can share experiences, learn from other players, and receive support when needed.

Incredible work by Friends of Youth over 75 years of serving vulnerable young people. Homeless youth services and behavioral health programs are lifelines that change the trajectory of entire lives. Thank you to every sponsor, volunteer, and staff member who makes this possible — and to the young people who shared their stories with courage and hope. --recorder

The racing game kart bros is a strategic racing game that helps players refine their skills to analyse the circuit and alter their strategies after each acceleration. Not only does each race involve racing speed, but it also necessitates the ability to select appropriate steering angles and devise strategies for overcoming obstacles.
