At this month's 🍩Donuts at the Dot🍩, we had the opportunity to meet Alexis Aviles and Jacqueline Brooks from Youth Villages Oregon, a nonprofit introduced to us by our new VP of Business Marketing, Colby Schlicker (who also serves on the organization's board of directors).
Youth Villages works with children, young adults, and families facing some of life's toughest challenges. Through intensive in-home support, crisis services, and programs that help young people successfully transition to adulthood, the organization helps keep families together, build stability, and create brighter futures. Since 2011, the Oregon team has helped more than 5,000 youth and families across the state.🙌
Thanks to Colby's connection with the organization, we had the opportunity to learn more about the critical services Youth Villages provides and the growing need they see across the state. And, as Jacqueline shared, "It's heartbreaking how much need there is."
So, thank you, Alexis and Jacqueline, for taking the time to tell us about your work and the impact Youth Villages is making across Oregon. We're proud to support organizations and individuals who make it their mission to help local youth and families thrive.💙🤘
