About Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development
Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development is a private, nonprofit agency founded in 1972 by several civic service organizations to provide emergency shelter and services for runaway youth. Our mission is to serve abused, abandoned, troubled and neglected youth in our community. Our goals are to assist these youth in understanding and achieving their individual – more... potential, increasing their personal and social skills, and creating the opportunity for them to become self directed, socially responsible, and productive citizens. The Youth Crisis Shelter, a short-term crisis intervention program for homeless and runaway youth ages 9-18, opened in 1975. This program provided the only emergency shelter for non-system youth in Maricopa County. Tumbleweed's services expanded in 1980 to include a detention alternative group home for boys and in 1986 independent living for homeless youth was added. We began street outreach services for homeless youth living on the streets in 1990. In 2004 Tumbleweed began developing group home unification services for Homeland Security's Office of Refugee Resettlement for Unaccompanied Minors. We now have more than a dozen direct service programs that provide a continuum of care for over 3000 homeless, conduct disordered, abused, abandoned, neglected, and at risk youth annually, ages 9-22. In 2005, Tumbleweed was awarded a contract to be the lead agency in a national project called Safe Place. Project Safe Place is a nationally known organization that provides access to immediate help and supportive resources for young people in crisis through a network of sites sustained by qualified agencies, trained volunteers and businesses. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
