About Huckleberry Youth Programs

In 1967, Huckleberry opened its flagship program, Huckleberry House, the first runaway youth shelter in the nation, at a time when running away as a youth was considered a crime. We have a rich and longstanding history of challenging the status quo to promote social justice and provide services to those in need. Over 55 years later, we have grown to provide over 5,000 youth annually with a continuum of services that remains rooted, just as it did at our founding, in the fundamental rights of young people to be safe, healthy, educated, and treated justly.

Over the years, our services have expanded to include primary and reproductive care, counseling, case management, health education, juvenile justice diversion, and college access to underserved youth and families.

Huckleberry’s longevity is a testament to the agency’s values, and our ability to adapt and grow to meet the ever-changing needs of our community. Each year, we host one to two major fundraisers along with smaller, social gatherings like Cocktails for a Cause/bar nights, shopping events, workout events, exclusive dining experiences, trivia and comedy nights, and shows/performances.
