For Youth

The Mockingbird Times is a monthly newspaper designed and produced by young people who have experience with the Washington State foster care/group home system and/or homelessness.

The Pongo Publishing Teen Writing Project is a volunteer, nonprofit effort with Seattle teens who are in jail, on the streets, or in other ways leading difficult lives.

We help these young people express themselves through poetry and other forms of writing and publish annual anthologies of their work.

Yoga for Youth has created a dynamic environment for addressing many of the social and behavioral problems confronting these youths. We believe Arts and Yoga for Youth can have a dynamic impact on the lives of its participants and offer an effective and affordable alternative to detention and police-centered crime prevention.
