Now more than ever our teens are experiencing added stress as they navigate COVID-19 and other issues.  Youth Odyssey is working with our teens virtually right now and preparing for a busy season when our doors reopen. When this happens our teens will need an outlet, a safe connection to heal.  We will be ready (with your help)!

Read our history and goals

I have learned to treat others with respect, to communicate better, and to not be afraid to confront my fears.

I have learned patience, leadership, and integrity so we can better ourselves in the future. And that working with a team is better.

One thing I have learned in Youth Odyssey is respect and life goals. I will use what I have learned to go to college.

Instead of being quiet and not participating, I lay down the plan. I start actually talking to people about what we’re doing and my leadership skills have improved a lot.
