Spectrum Youth and Family Services

Founded in 1970, Spectrum Youth and Family Services is a nationally recognized nonprofit leader empowering youth and families to make and sustain positive changes in their lives through prevention, intervention, and life skills programs. Every year, Spectrum serves 1,500 youth ages 14-26 across Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties.

The Burlington Basic Needs programs provide necessities like a warm place to get a meal or do laundry. At our shelters and in our supportive housing residences, youth who are facing homelessness can stay for months or years and get the help they need to build a life for themselves. Donations of food, hygiene supplies, cold weather gear, and other material resources support the important, life changing work of these programs for the youth that we serve.
