Empowering Youth through Leadership, Support, and Community.
At the Peach Pit, we provide a safe space for youth to connect, build leadership skills, and gain confidence.
Youth Empowerment is at our core, offering young people opportunities to take charge and shape the culture of the space. Our team includes eleven youth staff who actively contribute to this process. We also offer a Day Program designed to support teens and young adults facing challenges such as homelessness, teen parenting, and academic struggles. In addition, teens have access to vital mental health services through a confidential, reservable meeting space, ensuring they get the support they need.
Through youth-led events, leadership roles, and resources like a discreet resource closet, we encourage self-advocacy and resiliency, helping to create a strong, empowered community of young leaders.
