Every young person deserves a safe place to sleep, a warm meal, and someone who believes their life has value.

Positive Impact International operates the only Emergency Youth Shelter in Gwinnett County serving youth ages 12–21. We provide safe housing and wraparound support for young people who are homeless, unaccompanied, aging out of care, parenting, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, undocumented, or simply have nowhere safe to go.

Our shelter homes are more than a bed. They are places of healing, stability, and hope. Youth receive food, clothing, transportation, case management, therapy support, school help, job readiness, life skills, and the love and consistency they need to move from crisis to independence.

We currently operate six shelter homes and serve youth across Gwinnett and surrounding counties, but the need is greater than ever. Our waitlist continues to grow, and we need monthly donors to help us keep our doors open.

A monthly gift of $20 or more may seem small, but together it creates stability. It helps provide groceries, hygiene items, transportation, utilities, shelter support, and daily care for youth who need us most.

When you give monthly, you are not just making a donation — you are helping create a safe place, a second chance, and a future for a young person in crisis.

It truly takes a village. Thank you for being part of ours.
