Beginning July 16, Youth Rising will temporarily pause operations at our Emmett and Mountain Home Drop-In Centers.

An unexpected delay in state funding has created a temporary pause in programming while funding for Idaho youth assessment centers undergoes an additional review.

We currently anticipate the pause will continue through July 31, but we cannot guarantee a reopening date until the funding process is complete. We will share updates as soon as more information becomes available.

We know these centers provide much more than activities. They offer young people:

🧡 A safe place to belong

🍎 Food and snacks

🤝 Supportive adults

🎮 Activities and connection

🌱 Resources and encouragement

Our team is gathering information about other community resources and will share those with families during the pause.

For questions, additional information, or interest in helping:
