p:ear

p:ear mentors homeless youth in our community with the goal of affirming personal worth and ultimately creating healthier lives and communities. 

In their kitchen program p:ear not only offers young people two meals a day but also an opportunity to learn how to prepare food and space where they can share it together.

Their education, recreation, and arts programs provide opportunities for homeless youth to gain skills, confidence, and a more expansive view of themselves and their capabilities, all with the support of mentors. 

p:ear's art gallery and barista and bike mechanic schools offer pathways for both learning and earning.
