Join us as we raise funds to support the Austin17House—a beacon of hope and refuge for local youth. Just like a lighthouse guiding ships to safety, Austin17House provides a safe space where young people can discover their own inner light and unlock their potential to positively impact others.

Over the past seven years, we've offered a welcoming environment for youth to relax, make friends, and enjoy a free meal during the day. Because of the support of our community members and business owners, we've witnessed incredible growth — their confidence has soared, they’ve gained vital life skills, and they’ve found a sense of belonging that many of them had never experienced before.

Our after-school program is built with a clear purpose: to nurture creativity through arts, equip youth with essential life skills, and prepare them for bright futures and careers ahead. To continue making this vision a reality, we need to expand. Our goal is to double our capacity — hiring a second full-time staff member, extending our hours, and building even more enriching programs. This growth will enable us to reach more youth, serve families better, and truly be a pillar in the community.

Today, I’m asking you to join us in this journey. Your generosity can help us create a lasting impact, turning hope into transformation for the young people who need it most. Together, we can help shine a light to help them find their futures.
