Mission Statement
Living Rock Ministries, has been a safe place of community and support, for youth-at-risk, since 1985. Last year, Living Rock responded to over 22,000 youth visits to our Open Access Programs, providing essential supports, to one of our communities’ most vulnerable populations: youth age 13-25 who are affected by significant risk factors such as loss of family, poverty, substance misuse and mental health. Youth with significant risk-factors need support to navigate the social systems, to find ways to meet their basic needs of food, education and shelter. The programs and services offered by Living Rock, provide a continuum of care for youth and their children, in order to meet individual needs and offer opportunities for personal development, life-skills and employment training.
