Waymakers Huntington Beach Youth Shelter
The Waymakers Youth Shelter is a co-ed and 12 bed, short-term crisis intervention shelter. The children we serve are those between the ages of 11-17. Our 2-3 week program is designed to benefit homeless, runaway, abused and at-risk youth as well as youth transitioning from hospital to home. During the youths’ stay, they receive program services including drug and alcohol prevention, educational groups, meals, recreation, supervision, and intensive therapy. Our goal is to guide clients with group, individual, and family counseling to achieve successful family reunification.
