Avenue Youth House

The Avenue Youth House is managed by Our Spot KC, with an overall focus on youth and young adults from 18-24. Avenue of Life has dedicated rooms within the youth house for unaccompanied homeless youth ages 16-18 in Kansas City, Kansas. We provide long-term housing and case management for youth through high school graduation and on to career and higher education. We provide care and guidance through licensed therapists, case workers, mentors, and personal tutors. The Avenue Youth house is a collaborative effort between many local agencies, specializing in a broad spectrum of holistic care. Our Spot KC and Avenue of Life have staff, teachers and mentors to teach youth and young adults how to manage personal finances, cook well-balanced meals, engage in healthy recreation, develop entrepreneurial skills, and help them apply to colleges and places of employment. These teens and young adults do not have a home, and many have never been given the opportunity to dream about what life could look like beyond their current circumstances. With your help, we can give them the opportunity to thrive.
