Homelessness for youth means more than the absence of a safe place to sleep, enough food to eat or shelter from the cold. Homelessness for young people means a lack of safe, stable, reciprocal relationships and vulnerability to dangers such as physical assault, sexual assault, or human trafficking.

Each year, Ozone House serves several thousand young people throughout Washtenaw and surrounding counties in Southeast Michigan. Ozone House provides free, confidential, and voluntary shelter and support services to runaway, homeless, and high-risk youth ages 10-24, and their families.

Ozone House is looking for local companies to support our work with young people in a variety of ways:

• Volunteer as a group during our holiday parties and see the direct impact your efforts have on the resilient youth in our community.
• Host a drive for our highest need items listed here or donate items, experiences, or services that can be auctioned at our events.
• Invite us to host a workshop so your staff can learn more about youth homelessness, how easy it can go undetected, and ways to support the organizations looking to end it.
• Advocate for public policies that improve the lives of young people or invite Ozone House staff and young people to share about key issues.
• Interact with us on social media to connect your network with the organizations you care about.

Thank you for considering support of these services, as we strive to help youth develop essential life skills in safe spaces, improve their relationships, and enhance their self-image so that they may realize their full potential.

For more information on our levels of corporate support as well as other opportunities for support throughout the year please call us at 734-662-2265  or email donations@ozonehouse.org.
