Established in 1972, Pivot, A Turning Point for Youth, is a nonprofit that works with young people lacking stability in their lives. They are sometimes homeless or couch homeless, alone or disengaged. Almost all are ages 12 to 21 who have overwhelming barriers in their lives without the resources to overcome them and successfully transition into self-reliant adults.

Pivot is committed to long-term impacts in the lives of the youth they serve. They provide programs and services that focus on meeting housing and basic needs, education and job assistance, mentoring and life skills development, prevention and intervention services, as well as, mental health and substance abuse services. Pivot takes a youth-driven, strengths base, trauma responsive approach to empowering youth to transition into self-sufficient adults.

Pivot helps transition young people from a life filled with fear and instability to one of hope and opportunity.
