FOUNDED: 1971
OUR MISSION: Briarpatch Youth Services offers a broad array of services to youth who have run away, are experiencing homelessness and/or facing other life challenges. Briarpatch works closely with local governments and other nonprofit organizations to provide unique programs that fill service gaps in Dane County.
WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES: Your gift to Briarpatch Youth Services helps strengthen the lives of youth and families across Dane County. Donations help provide safe shelter, crisis intervention, advocacy, housing assistance, case management, employment support and restorative justice services.
Donations also help provide young people with essentials such as food, clothing, hygiene supplies, transportation, school and employment resources, and other basic needs. Your support makes it possible for youth to participate in activities, community events, and opportunities to connect and build skills. Every dollar helps ensure that young people have access to caring adults, meaningful resources and support when they need it most.
WAYS YOU CAN HELP US:
- Donate money to help provide critical services, resources and opportunities for youth and families.
- Provide items that directly support young people and our programs, including clothing, hygiene products, food and other essentials. A list of most-requested items is our website.
- Sign up for the Briarpatch newsletter to learn about our programs, youth stories, events and ways to get involved.
- Spread the word to help us reach more young people, families, community members and supporters by sharing Briarpatch’s work with your friends, family, workplace, or social networks.
