Case management - direct youth service

SafeFutures Youth Center was born from the grit, perseverance, and life experience of community activists and youth workers who would not accept the disparities and inequities that youth of color face in education, employment, and the criminal legal system. The Agency’s mission is to empower and support children from low-income BIPOC communities throughout Southwest Seattle and King County to realize their potential and emerge as confident, resourceful, and engaged community members.  For over 24 years, SafeFutures has emerged as a leading force in providing culturally responsive youth development, academic, employment, and career-readiness programs in conjunction with comprehensive youth development navigation and support services that make it possible for youth and young adults to create a positive vision for their future and to take steps toward realizing their dreams.

The Agency provides a comprehensive array of services and activities in which youth and youth adults will participate based on assessment, strengths, and choice to make it possible for them to succeed in realizing their goals and aspirations.  Services are based on best practices and models of positive youth development including the Search institute's 40 Developmental Assets Framework which focuses adolescents' social/emotional and external and internal assets identified as building blocks of healthy development that help determine success for youth and young adults.  Services are delivered through a holistic approach to youth development that includes academic support, leadership development, college and career preparation, engaging with the youth's family environment, helping to address family needs that impact the youth's wellbeing and ability to realize goals.  The vision for success is that youth will emerge as confident, resourceful and engaged community members gaining tools and support to navigate their futures.
