Our Services

As the first licensed Safe Place agency in Eastern North Carolina, we are part of a national network that provides immediate safety for youth in crisis. If a young person is runaway, homeless, or in an unsafe situation, they can look for the yellow-and-black Safe Place diamond sign at partner locations. We provide a direct link to emergency help, specialized care, and supportive services 24/7. 

We primarily serve youth and young adults ages 18-21, who are facing housing instability, transitioning out of the foster care system, or experiencing a crisis that makes their current living situation unsafe. Our facility is designed to be a "bridge" to a stable future, offering residents a nurturing environment with access to life skills training, educational support, and a dedicated computer lab and library. However, as a Safe Place Agency, we are able to serve ages 12-21.

Our mission extends far beyond the walls of our facility. We are active participants in community events throughout the year and lead various outreach initiatives—such as our Back to School and Christmas Blessings programs—to provide essential items like diapers and gifts to families in need. Whether we are partnering with local schools or assisting survivors of domestic violence, we are committed to being a constant source of support and hope for all our neighbors.
