I started volunteering at Robyne's Nest in Feb 2021. I had attended a few informational sessions on homelessness in our city and was really moved to hear about teens with no parental support having a place to help not just survive, but to grow and become independent and productive members of society. I started simply being there and answering phones and slowly became involved in more and more. Watching our community work together to help students in our community is truly heartwarming.
Robyne’s Nest provides housing support, wellness and care coordination, basic needs assistance, and life-skills development so students can move toward long-term stability.
Last year, 100% of Robyne’s Nest high school seniors graduated, and many are now continuing into college, career training, and independent living.
Donations will help Robyne's Nest ensure more young people have access to the practical resources, trusted relationships, and stability they need during difficult moments.
Every gift makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for helping create stability for students who need it most.
Stability changes everything.
Some students are carrying far more than homework.
They are trying to stay in school while dealing with unstable housing, family disruption, food insecurity, anxiety, and the reality of not always knowing who they can rely on.
One student came to Robyne’s Nest trying hard to keep everything together. School mattered, but basic stability was becoming harder to hold onto. Food was inconsistent. Home life was uncertain. The future felt heavy.
At Robyne’s Nest, that student found immediate support — food, trusted adults, emotional wellness support, practical guidance, and people who kept showing up. Over time, things began to settle. School became manageable again. Hope returned.
We support vulnerable students and young adults with the stability and practical support they need to stay in school, graduate, and move toward long-term self-sufficiency.
Support can look like:
- emergency food and hygiene essentials
- safe housing and transitional living support
- one-on-one wellness support
- life skills and practical guidance
- trusted relationships with adults who show up consistently
Because when basic needs are met, students can begin to think about what comes next.
Why your support matters
Many of the young people we serve are determined, capable, and resilient. But determination alone is not always enough when basic stability is missing.
Your support helps make sure students have what they need in the moment — and the support to keep moving forward.
The impact is real
Because of generous supporters:
- 100% of Robyne’s Nest high school seniors graduated last year

Help a student stay safe, stay in school, and move forward.
