SAFEFUTURES HELPS
SHAPE LIVES
Empowering youth from low-income communities and communities of color in South King County for over two decades!
SafeFutures is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to empowering and uplifting young people. We believe that every young person has the potential to achieve great things, regardless of their background, and we are committed to providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.
We are on a mission to provide young people with equitable access to essential resources and opportunities, including academic support, mentorship during critical transitional phases, and guidance on higher education, career exploration and leadership development skills. We believe that by offering these resources, we can help young people become productive members of society and cultivate the knowledge/skills they need to succeed at every stage.
If you are a young person looking to achieve your dreams and make a positive impact on the world, we invite you to explore all that SafeFutures has to offer!

Looking for A Mentor?
Are you looking for some one on one support for your scholar, or yourself? Our mentorship program is for ages 12-24. We are excited to highlight our Youth Development Navigation program, where youth and young adults can gain some one on one time with our amazing team of mentors. Mentors use trauma-informed practices and are supporting young people with individualized coaching, counseling and goals setting plans to help meet them where they are. See more details here
