About Youth Haven Ministries
A grassroots nonprofit helping teens find hope, purpose, and belonging—no pressure, no judgment.
Youth Haven Ministries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2017 to reach spiritual seekers and youth who feel overlooked, anxious, or alone. Whether you're religious or not, you’re welcome here—just as you are. We exist to offer real hope and honest help in a way that makes sense, not through fear or rigid rules.
We’re a progressive, LGBTQ+ affirming Christian ministry that believes love, truth, and faith should never be forced. Our mission is simple: to help people unconditionally, especially teens, while pointing to Jesus through our actions—not pressure or preaching.
What Makes Us Different
Where We’ve Been
In 2019, we launched a teen center in Tampa Bay that grew from 2 to over 60 teens in just a year—offering game nights, Real Talk groups, music, food, and life support programs. It made the news and changed lives—until COVID shut it down.
Since then, we’ve restructured into a multi-state movement with local outreach programs in Florida, South Carolina, and now West Virginia.
Where We’re Headed
We’re launching a new teen center in Charleston, WV—built on the same proven model. It’ll be a safe, welcoming space for all teens, no matter their story. Think games, real conversations, music, support, and belonging—with no strings attached.
Our Values
Meet Our Founder
Youth Haven was started by Tony Losacco, a licensed counselor and ordained minister with over 25 years of youth experience. Tony's heart is to create spaces where every teen feels seen, valued, and safe—no matter what.
