Welcome to Openarms Youth Project!

Imagine for a moment that you had a safe space to meet with peers and mentors, where you had the freedom to express yourself without fear of judgment or criticism. In this place you felt safe to tell the truth; free to share how you feel and think; and realized that you're not alone.
How might it have changed your life?
How might it change the world?

» Openarms needs your help!

All of the programs that Openarms offers during the week are free of charge for the youth who participate. We depend on donations to continue these programs. Please take a moment and make a donation through pay pal or drop a check in the mail. All donations go directly into programming as we have no paid staff at Openarms. We are all volunteers so your dollars have the most impact possible.
