It is with sadness that we announce the temporary closure of the RHYMES Youth Shelter, due to a lack of funding. We are hopeful that we will be able to reopen in the near future. In the meantime, we hope that youth in need of services will find the appropriate care, support, and advocacy that they need. We have a fabulous staff, whose commitment to youth surpasses any I have observed in other professional settings. Through building relationships with youth and collaborating with youths’ support teams (family, case workers, social workers, educators, therapists, etc.), our staff have contributed to making positive differences in the lives of the youth we serve. We look forward to being able to serve youth again soon!
Thank you for your support!
