Sojourners Resiliency Center
An at-risk youth drop-in center on the West Side of Athens working to improve the lives of folks ages 12-24 through access to basic needs and programming.
The Sojourners Resiliency serves ages 12-24 at no cost with a focus on unhoused youth or youth at risk of experiencing homelessness in Southeast Ohio. We provide vital access to Wi-Fi, computers, hot showers, laundry facilities, a food bank, and a clothing closet; along with tents, tarps, sleeping bags and other items you may need to sleep outdoors. In addition to these resources, we offer free youth programming designed to build resiliency through social, emotional, and life skill building. We are open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. with staff on site available to help youth use these resources and access broader resources such as applying for jobs, SNAP, Medicaid, WIC etc.
