Mission & Vision:
Making change possible by empowering young people to take steps towards a better quality of life. Our vision is an equitable world where young people have the tools to thrive.

About Us:
The Doorway is a youth-driven organization that empowers young people as they transition away from street life and into stable and secure housing. At The Doorway we believe that transition is about changing more than where you sleep, it’s about changing they way you see yourself and the world around you. The Doorway community is about meeting participants where they are at, without judgement. We are passionate about listening, empathy, empowerment and self-determination. Our team works collaboratively, operating with the understanding that each participant has knowledge and wisdom and is the expert in their own lives.
