This dedication has made us an integral part of the City’s safety net for more than 86 years.
Each day we strive to fulfill our mission:

Opportunity:
The Safe Space Spring Benefit is an opportunity for those who support the organization to come together for one night to celebrate our kids. Talented youth from the Safe Space Arts Academy sing, dance and recite original poetry.
About the Arts Academy:
The Safe Space Arts Academy provides at-risk youth with creative and therapeutic alternatives to the more destructive forms of expression prevalent in urban street culture. Our goal is to provide the youth we serve with a safe environment through which to identify and develop self-esteem, bolster confidence and pride, and improve academic and social behaviors.
All contributions toward the Safe Space Spring Benefit support general operating expenses, allowing the organization to provide constant support (program staff, administration and facilities) for the much-needed programs we provide. Approximately 88 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to programming.
