Our strength-based, solution-focused programs utilize trauma-informed care and research to teach skills young women skills needed to succeed in adulthood.
Since 1987, Our Friends Place has ignited generational change in the lives of more than 5,000 young women as they excel, grow, and flourish.
Our Friends Place relies on donations from caring donors like you to support a continuum of care for young women that stretches across North Texas. Our service-rich Transitional Living Centers are more than a home – they’re a place for young women ages 18-24 to focus on school, start a job, learn life skills, and save money for their future. Our Friends Place’s innovative SOAR to Success program reaches out to young women and adult allies to create safe space spaces for brave conversations and skill-building; to help prevent them from experiencing homelessness.
Our Friends Place helps young women break generational cycles of abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness through empowering self-reliance and independence.
Our most urgent need in this moment is funding, funding, funding—Friends! Your generous gift allows us to sustain homeless-prevention outreach across North Texas, maintain our two Transitional Living Centers and the apartments they house, and to take great care to address young women's needs, changing the trajectory of their lives.
Our Friends Place recognizes that racism is a root cause of youth homelessness and poverty. We acknowledge and center race and racial equity throughout every aspect of our organization, relationships with our partners, and the community to foster belonging, awareness, and action.
