Peace for the Streets by Kids from the Streets (PSKS) provides support and services to Seattle area homeless youth and young adults. Founded in 1995, PSKS was a response to the growing number of homeless youth coupled with the significant shortage of available services for them. PSKS is a unique organization that uses the talents and experiences of homeless and formerly homeless young people to develop service strategies for their peers.

PSKS's committed efforts are targeted at providing stepping stones to transition youths from the streets to self-sufficiency and productive roles in the community. PSKS's mission is driven by the belief that there is potential in every person and a solution for every cause.

ROOTS Young Adult Shelter provides safe, emergency, overnight shelter to young adults (ages 18-25) in Seattle's University District that are homeless.

Volunteer Opportunities available.
