New Avenues for Youth is a Portland-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing and intervening in youth homelessness. The organization offers a comprehensive range of services, including housing, education, job training, and counseling, all tailored to meet the diverse needs of youth.
A cornerstone of New Avenues for Youth's commitment to inclusivity is the Sexual & Gender Minority Youth Resource Center (SMYRC). SMYRC provides a safe, harassment-free space for queer and trans youth aged 13 to 24, offering programs such as art and music workshops, open mic nights, and support groups. Beyond these activities, SMYRC delivers essential services like case management, counseling, and educational support, aiming to empower LGBTQIA2S+ youth to thrive in their communities.
