OUR MISSION AND VISION
Mission Statement
Ryan's House for Youth exists to provide Whidbey Island and all of Island County youth safe and stable housing, supportive relationships, and the opportunity for self-sufficiency and success.
Vision Statement
Ryan's House for Youth will strive to prevent youth homelessness before it can take root; establish havens where at risk youth and young adults can experience unqualified care in a safe nurturing environment; help the vulnerable become self-sufficient; and create refuges that protect young lives on the islands of Puget Sound and beyond.
Values
Five core values motivate us and drive our passion to serve at-risk youth in our community:
Security- We believe that all youth need and deserve secure housing, nutritious food, and healthy relationships
Inclusion- We believe in helping any and all youth who can benefit from our services without regard or consideration of their membership in any protected class
Education- We believe education is a right, and every youth should have the opportunity to focus on schooling without concern for a good nights sleep, a full stomach, or lack of resources
Inspiration- We believe that working together as a community, our staff, volunteers, and partners will help youth feel inspired to work toward their great dreams
Celebration- We believe in celebrating milestones and goals as youth seek independence and long-term success
