Youth rising house - youth rising (YR) is a national 501C3 nonprofit organization that has been serving youth located in rural and urban communities for 11 years

Funding for this project will allow US to provide residential and non-residential support services for tribal pregnant or parenting youth/young adults ages 12-21. Youth rising will provide drop-in services in deschutes county (central or) and the youth rising house (YR house), a new transitional living cooperative shelter in douglas county (southern or), additionally accepting referrals from seven surrounding counties in the region. The non-residential support services provided will consist of services covered under the national youth rising model. This includes drop-in center services, group peer and virtual peer support, prevention programs, applicable life skills training, workforce development and internships, and access to education (GED or accelerated/self-paced diploma program). In addition to access to the welcomed services listed above, residents ages 12-21 of the YR house will be actively served through a program focused on tribal youth and young adults who are pregnant and/or parenting. Each resident will receive 1:1 peer support from a peer advocate who will empower and assist with access to trauma-oriented substance abuse treatment and mental health services. Residents will be offered gender-responsive, trauma-informed substance abuse treatment services through a complete continuum of care and for breaking the cycle of addiction in a cutting-edge, forward-thinking and outcomes-based approach.
