Volunteers of America Western Washington ministers to the needs of the community by providing food, shelter, and crisis support. Mission Statement Volunteers of America Western Washington is a Christian faith-in-action organization. Our mission is to empower people and strengthen communities in need, guided by core values of respect, integrity, stewardship and empathy. We are united in service to God and humanity with a vision to build healthy, safe communities where all people enjoy self-sufficient, fulfilled lives. The VOAWW Story Our Name In the days of our founding in 1896, a "volunteer" was anyone who was committed to a mission or cause. Our name signified that the organization was comprised of people who had chosen to spend their lives helping others. Today, our services are delivered through a partnership of professional staff, volunteers and other community supporters. Volunteers are instrumental in every aspect of our ministry of service and help us reach thousands more people than we could with staff alone. Founding The Volunteers of America movement spread to Western Washington in 1898, just two years after founders Ballington and Maud Booth proclaimed in New York that they would "go where we are needed and do whatever came to hand." Teaching people how to lead self-sufficient lives has been a cornerstone principle in this evolving organization. As the Booths were charting the organization's national history, for many years locally, Volunteers of America developed its community-based programs separately at two affiliate locations in Seattle and Everett. In 1999, these affiliates merged into what is now known as Volunteers of America Western Washington and responds to more than 316,000 requests for assistance each year. Responding to needs in Western Washington Volunteers of America was an evangelical presence in Seattle in 1898. After becoming incorporated in 1912 as Volunteers of America of Washington, the organization's work gradually evolved into a social service agency. Volunteers of America Northwest Washington began in Everett in 1915 and operated as an outpost of the Seattle-based affiliate, offering early programs that centered on the Men's Rehabilitation Center and thrift stores. By 1927, services expanded to meet the area's growing needs, and the outpost became a separate branch of National Volunteers of America. Between 1927 and 1978, this chapter grew to include several new programs including a Sunday school, youth programs, and Camp Volasuca, a summer camp in Sultan. In 1971 and 1974, through many local partnerships, new camp facilities were built including a large and small A-frame and a bathhouse. In 1985, the national office granted a charter to begin to operate as a Washington State nonprofit corporation. Our Ministry of Service Volunteers of America is a movement of faith in action, an ecumenical community of faith united in service to God and to humanity. Our Christian spiritual foundation truly sets Volunteers of America apart from most other human services organizations. Compassion, healing, and hope motivate us. These building blocks of our faith have led us to create programs and services that go to the heart of our community's needs, serving our most vulnerable neighbors. Need a logo?

Sky Valley Haven provides emergency overnight shelter for youth 12-17 and offers daytime drop-in services like case management, homework help, activity clubs, support groups, and mental health counseling. VOAWW Home Location Get Involved Contact Us Sky Valley Haven will offer six beds of emergency overnight shelter for youth ages 12-17. During the day, the Center will provide drop-in services and programming such as case management, homework help, activity clubs, support groups, and mental health counseling. We are currently working on funding to support overnight operations and special programming. Meeting Community Needs The need for this project was identified in 2018 when the Sky Valley Youth Coalition, a program of VOAWW on the VOA Village at Sky Valley, identified that more than half of program participants experienced housing instability or homelessness. The nearest shelter for youth experiencing homelessness is in Monroe and routinely operates at capacity. This leaves Sky Valley youth with limited options to travel far outside their communities for shelter and/or stay locally in situations that are not safe. Our program will work closely with the Sultan School District, Sultan Police Department, and community service partners to identify youth in need of shelter. While participating in shelter services, youth will have access to wraparound support, including case management and access to on-site services for mental health services and referrals for health care services. Sky Valley Haven 1st Floor Plans Sky Valley Haven 2nd Floor Plans Sky Valley Haven 1st Floor Plans 1/2 Design The main floor of the Haven offers social spaces for youth including a gaming area, a large kitchen, computer room, storage lockers for shelter guests, laundry, and staff offices. The second floor includes shared bedrooms, a half-bathroom and staff office. The completed facility will be just over 3,200 square feet. Location Location 605 1st St. Sultan, WA 98294 Become a Service Partner We are still in the planning phases and interested in hearing from potential partner organizations who may be interested in providing services on- or off-site to participants. If you’re a partner agency and would like more information about supporting youth as part of our drop-in daytime services, we'd love to hear from you! Partnership Inquiry Volunteer Volunteers will be needed once the program opens to assist with drop-in center activities, inventory, etc. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, visit volunteer.voaww.org or email us!
