Young Adult Access Centers are safe, welcoming centers designed for young adults ages 16 to 24, a critical time of transition into young adulthood. Centers are led by youth who share their own experiences and offer peer support to help young adults overcome challenges, gain independence, and achieve success. They include a variety of supports such as peer support, arts & social activities, connections to housing, employment & education resources. There are also opportunities to gain leadership skills and learn to advocate for choice & voice in treatment and recovery. No application or appointment is needed.
