Operation Come Home assists youth experiencing homelessness to achieve their goals, and avoid the experience of homelessness as an adult. We offer Employment, Education, Housing, Mental Health, Harm Reduction, and Drop In programs for at-risk youth aged 16-29. Our programs focus on what works and what matters to youth, as well as encourage the personal growth of everyone as an individual.

Highlights

  • Operation Come Home is looking for an organization to help with strategic planning, and has created a Request for Proposal document outlining our goals and intentions. You can review this today.

  • If you give to Operation Come Home before the end of the year, your gift will be automatically entered in our matching gift campaign. A generous supporter gave through a donor advised fund to match support raised for our programs. You will also participate in our knifewaer contest! Details here.
