Youth Rising (YR) - a national nonprofit - began as a pilot project in 2011 in rural Oregon with a handful of youth. By 2014, YR had established a 3,000 square ft drop-in center, along with additional youth-focused programs and services. In 2019, YR recognized the need for our services in rural and urban communities nationwide and set out to expand nationally. Our services cater to youth at different stages of their journey, aiming to boost their mental, emotional, social, academic, and vocational growth.
