The Spectrum shelter helped me out so much. It led to so many other things. Spectrum worked with me to get a stable place to live. They helped me find a job. I got my GED. Spectrum staff threw a graduation party for me. They supported me when I had some hard times - And they helped me find healthy and positive hobbies. Without Spectrum, I don't know where I would be today. They saved my life and helped me open my eyes and realize how much was out there for me.
Who we are
2010 marks our 40th anniversary, and last year we were nationally recognized as the Agency of the Year for 2009, as selected by the National Network for Youth!
How we are different:
We have the unique capacity to support and help young people address factors that can interfere with their transition to adulthood such as mental health, physical health, joblessness, and substance abuse.
Youth have access to our emergency shelter, long-term residential program, mental health and substance abuse counseling, educational services and an employment program, and much more.
Young people whose lives are unimaginably unstable and traumatic, but who manage to show up at our door day after day, continually inspire us.
"Can you imagine not having someone who cares about you, your well being and if you go to bed fed and warm each night? Because of Spectrum, hundreds of forgotten and in need teens now have people who truly care and are given the tools that they need to make their own futures bright! We think Spectrum’s 'making good' and are proud to support their efforts."
