Kristen Mitchell - Youth Futures Utah

When teens experience difficulties at home, the only escape they sometimes see is to run away; which often leads to further and even greater harm due to their vulnerability. Kristen Mitchell, Executive Director of Youth Futures Utah (Youth Futures), became aware of this trend of teens suddenly becoming unsheltered, without family or other resources to turn to. When she determined that no other existing organizations were directly focused in this area, she founded Youth Futures to provide the needed shelter, support, resources, and guidance to youth experiencing homelessness—helping them move from crisis to stability and toward a healthier future. Tune in to this episode to hear powerful stories of youth who gained hope and healing with the help of Youth Futures!
