The Maslow Project was founded on the concept of ‘community working together to better meet the needs of our kids’. The following agencies are supporting this vision through in-kind contributions of services or resources. Commitments from these agencies are making it possible to better serve homeless youth in an integrated, non-stigmatizing manner that surrounds the youth with a safety-net of resources, helping them achieve their goals and self-sufficiency. We appreciate our community collaborations with the following agencies:
Kids Unlimited offers a variety of free or low cost enrichment programs including after-school programs in five elementary schools, instructional sports programs, arts programs, mentoring and summer programs.
Community Works partners with the Maslow Project by providing an on-site mental health therapist who offers free counseling to our youth and parents, as well as other support services for homeless youth, including the Transitional Living Program, Host Homes, and Dunn House.
The Job Council partners with Maslow Project to provide on-site employment skills and advise youth on potential educational opportunities through their programs. Their youth work force has also contributed hours toward Maslow Community Events.
ACCESS, Inc. has served the needs of seniors, persons with disabilities, children and people of low-income since 1976. Access partners with Maslow Project to offer a food pantry on-site at our drop-in center.
Department of Human Services partners with Maslow Project to provide on-site assistance with Oregon Health Plan and Food Stamps. Offering this service at Maslow helps young people access this much needed assistance in a youth-friendly environment where they won’t get lost in the system.
Mediation Works empowers individuals and organizations to resolve their differences peacefully. They teach conflict resolution skills and provide mediation services.
