Homeless Youth Drop-In Team – Open Doors for Youth is an afternoon drop-in center in Elk River for area homeless youth ages 16-21. On-Site Team members work directly with young people to provide a safe, warm and welcoming atmosphere for the youth who visit.

When youth are not present volunteers assist with sorting donations, doing dishes, cleaning and office projects, as needed. Service shifts are 2-4 hours while the center is open: 2-6pm Monday - Friday. Center supervisors are present with volunteers. Training and ongoing support is provided. A weekly commitment is preferred. Contact Cheryl - info.opendoorsforyouth@gmail.com - 763-441-1473.
