A.Y.A. Youth Collective envisions a community where every youth has access to a place where they belong and stable housing as a foundation for their future. We have a drop-in center for youth age 14-24 who are experiencing unsafe/unstable housing and housing units for youth age 18-24. Drop-In hours: Monday through Friday at noon, 1:30pm and 3pm by appointment. Call 616-406-3945 to schedule yours today! Housing: To look into housing options, please call 616-406-3945 to talk to a youth Advocate or schedule an appointment to learn more about about your housing options. In difficult moments like these, with nowhere to go and no one to trust, sometimes just one caring person is all it takes—to go out of their way to offer support, to listen, to ultimately change the trajectory of a life. In our own times of trouble, there is often one person who took the time to care, and in caring, changed our life for good. How incredible is it to know that you have the power to positively change someone’s life? This is the essence of HQ; the belief that through relationship, we have the opportunity to impact another’s life in profound ways.
