For over 24 years, we’ve been a beacon of hope for young people, empowering children and young adults from low-income BIPOC communities across Southwest Seattle and King County to unlock their potential and thrive as confident, resourceful, and engaged community members. We are more than a youth center; we are a movement.
Our culturally responsive programs blend academic support, leadership development, career readiness, and comprehensive youth navigation services to help youth create a positive vision for their future. Grounded in the proven principles of positive youth development, including the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets Framework, our holistic approach addresses not only academic and career goals but also the family and social environments that shape success. At SafeFutures, we believe in the power of possibility. Every young person deserves the chance to dream big and take bold steps toward realizing their aspirations. Our team is the driving force behind this vision, creating lasting change and empowering the next generation of leaders.
