Third spaces are critical community infrastructure -- especially for folks at risk of falling through gaps.

Young People the Front HQ facilitates stability, wellness, and health for young adults transitioning to sustained independence.

Our diverse programming in a physical third space includes partnerships with community-driven creative groups that co-host social events, skill-building workshops, and creative activities with us.

YP2F HQ envisions a world with supportive spaces that help young adults experiment creatively, grow professionally, and contribute to the diverse subcultures that make our neighborhoods the place we call home.

WHAT WE DO

Young People to the Front HQ offers essential third space infrastructure for young adults in Los Angeles navigating the path to stability.

The Gap We Address: Young adults exiting homelessness often lack the social networks and safe spaces needed to experiment, build skills, and achieve lasting stability.

Our Approach: For young gig workers, we offer affordable co-work space, entrepreneurship training, and creative infrastructure. In partnership with mission-driven groups that host programming, we create the physical proximity and shared experiences that build relationship ecosystems.

The Result: Young adults develop the social networks, skills, and confidence that lead to multi-dimensional stability, while contributing to vibrant, creative communities.

Long-term Impact: Well-connected young adults create thriving neighborhoods—spaces where experimentation is welcomed, subcultures flourish, and communities are sustainable and inclusive.

Your Impact

Young People to the Front Headquarters (YP2F HQ) has been a safe space and launching pad for our communities since 2021. In 2025, we are making this space safer by addressing deferred building maintenance through this renovation fundraising campaign. Help preserve this vital community space!
