Northmen Den Youth Services makes a difference!
We nourish our students by providing food, mentoring, and tutoring in a manner that respects dignity and individuality while sustaining dreams.
What We Do
422 Club 4U
Part of our vision to support students in need is to go beyond basic physical needs and provide a well-rounded sense of wellbeing. Surveys of area youth report a lack of activities for students after school. Our program offers fun indoor and outdoor activities for Middle School and High School students.
Group Coaching
Our coaching program is open to 8th graders – 11th graders in a small group between 10 – 15 students with 3 trained mentors. Participants learn from each other and see that peers in their age range have similar situations and feelings as they work together.
Youth Food Pantry
Our fifteen school-based youth pantries function to provide students, aged 11 to 18, with necessary food and supplies that they may not otherwise have. Most live in limited income households with a lack of resources and we’re happy to step in and help thanks to the generous support of our donors and volunteers.

"Volunteering provides an opportunity to interact with local youth. We joke, we encourage, and we support. If I can make one child feel genuine warmth and care, I've made a difference"
