Every young person in Great Falls deserves a safe space where they feel seen, supported, and empowered to build a brighter future. For 40 years, the Alliance for Youth has served as a critical lifeline for local youth facing adversity, providing essentials, mentorship, housing support, and a pathway toward independence.

Right now, the Youth Resource Center (YRC), a critical component of the Alliance for Youth, urgently needs upgrades and replacements for essential furniture, technology, appliances, and program supplies.

“In the last year alone, more than 300 youth in Great Falls were homeless at some point during the year. If the basic needs of these youth are not met, the long-term consequences are often dire, including addiction, abuse, incarceration, and suicide.”

— Thomas Risberg, Alliance for Youth

The YRC is a proven haven for our local youth. As Thomas shared:

“Since opening in May 2020, the YRC has served more than 1,000+ youth. In just the last year, the center has supported 193 youth, served nearly 6,000 meals, and provided more than 3,500 transports.”

Now, we have a unique opportunity to have our donations go further.
