Serving Youth

Serving Community

Colorado Balance of State Continuum of Care Shared Vision: To actively address the overlapping systems of inequity, access and missed opportunities and build a shared response so all youth and young adults in Colorado who struggle to find safety, housing, and community have the resources and services readily available so all pathways leading to youth homelessness are dissolved. Oak Tree Youth Resources serves youth in Southwest Colorado as a partner with Colorado’s Rural Collaborative on Runaway & Homeless Youth. This is the state’s collective effort to end youth homelessness within the rural counties.

The primary focus of the Colorado Rural Collaborative on Runaway and Homeless youth is preventing and supporting youth who are at risk of/or who have runaway and youth ages 12-24 who have become homeless. Emphasis is on youth who have been involved with the behavioral health, child welfare or juvenile justice systems. Due to the risk of trafficking victimization for this population it is important to assess all youth that seek support.
