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!

Their twin girls are now in middle school, still so full of energy and now needing even more time to socialize. Tina’s dear mom Susan moved in with them after the death of her husband, and she needs a lot of care. Susan’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis means she cannot be left alone even for a short while. While they love having their house full of family, the increasingly common demands of growing children, an aging parent, and their busy careers has been a lot to handle. They are exhausted. Imagine Mike and Tina having the support they need in one location in their own backyard. They head to the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center, where they drop the girls off at the Boys and Girls Club for an afternoon of sports and hanging with friends. Susan receives socialization and care at the onsite Adult Day Program. And Mike and Tina can grab a coffee, go on a date, run some errands, or even just rest at home. The whole family is enriched and recharged. Thanks to the programs at the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center, Mike and Tina are able to get some relief just minutes away from home. Their kids are thriving, and Susan has a high quality of life. And while their lives are still busy, the extra support makes all the difference.
