It’s hard to believe it’s already been six months since we moved into our beautiful new Youthlinc building- and what a transformative half-year it’s been!
From the moment we unlocked the doors, this space has become more than just an office- it’s become the heart of our mission in motion. Every day, it serves as a hub for passionate conversations, strategic planning, and spontaneous team huddles that make all the difference. Our new home has brought our staff and programs together in ways we never imagined possible.
One of the biggest highlights so far? Hosting our humongous Clothing Drive with Big Brothers Big Sisters right here! With ample room to fill the giant trailers, we pulled off our largest and most efficient drive to date. Volunteers, donors, and staff all felt the power of what can happen when the right space meets the right mission.
Thank You to Our Donors
Of course, this dream would never have become a reality without the generous support of our incredible community. Whether you gave a little or a lot, you helped lay the foundation-literally-for a space where service grows, leaders are shaped, and lives are changed.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us settle into our new home. Whether you’ve joined us for a meeting, donated clothes, or added your name to our wall, we are endlessly grateful. Here’s to the next chapter in a space built by-and for-humanitarians.















A few years ago, my team moved into a larger, more open office, and it completely changed how we collaborate. The space encouraged creativity and made it easier to host community events, much like Youthlinc’s clothing drive. It’s amazing how the right environment can bring people together and amplify impact. Creating a supportive space definitely fuels mission-driven work. On a lighter note, when you need a quick mental break from busy days like these, I highly recommend trying the Slope Game for some fun and relaxation.
