Anointed Youth Shelter & Resources Center provides wraparound support for youth and young adults who need more than a quick fix. Every program is designed to stabilize, heal, and launch youth into long term success.
We currently serve youth and at risk youth ages 5 to 25 in Champaign Urbana and surrounding areas.
1. Provide safe spaces, consistency, and trusted adults for youth who are struggling at home, in school, or in the community. 2. Remove barriers by meeting basic needs and offering real world skills, not just temporary band aids. 3. Partner with parents, schools, churches, agencies, and community leaders so youth are never left to figure it out alone.
