Oak Tree Youth Resources provide a welcoming space in the heart of Durango where young people can relax, connect, and access the support they need. Our team meets each youth where they are, offering resources, guidance, and community in a comfortable, judgment-free environment.  

Young people ages 12–24 can receive support to re-engage in school, complete their education, build resumes, seek employment, develop budgeting skills, access housing assistance, receive crisis intervention, and connect to other supportive services.

Youth Support Center Services

Our Center provides essential services to meet the basic needs of young people. It’s a welcoming space where youth can:

  • Relax, nap, or socialize in a supportive environment.
  • Freely access food, hygiene supplies, and clothing, charge their phones, shower, or do laundry.
  • Meet with counselors for guidance and support.
  • Engage in creative activities like working on art projects.
  • Access vital resources and services tailored to their needs.
  • Attend weekly, supportive programming such as Young People in Recovery (YPR)

We recognize that youth often require comprehensive, wraparound support. Our center facilitates collaboration between multiple agencies to create a coordinated, individualized plan of care that addresses the unique needs of each young person.

We offer young people the opportunity to address housing instability, re-enter school, complete their education, and develop essential life skills such as résumé creation, job interview techniques, and budgeting. These supportive services are tailored for youth aged 12-24, providing them with the tools they need to build a stable and self-sufficient future.

A youth drop-in space serves as a catalyst for positive change by fostering trust-based relationships between young people and caring, supportive adults, creating a foundation for growth and empowerment.

*We reserve the right to refuse service.  Aggression and violence will not be tolerated. We believe that every young person, staff, and volunteer deserves the best environment, and no one should fear for their safety.  With that in mind, Oak Tree Youth Resources supports our team members in asking someone to leave our space and requesting Law Enforcement to address aggressive behavior encountered while working at our Youth Support Center.
