Today’s annual 5 Kate hosted by the Katie’s Place was a beautiful display of the importance of community coming together to shine a light on mental illness awareness.

You are never alone. 🧡

Help us congratulate Luis Torres on his promotion to Operations Lead at NEPA Youth Shelter! 🎉

Since joining our team in June 2024, Luis has played an important role in supporting the shelter’s day-to-day operations and helping us continue to provide a safe, welcoming space for young people throughout northeastern Pennsylvania. As a former shelter participant, he knows firsthand the impact a supportive community can have on a young person's life.

“I love being there for the teens and giving back to the program that gave me so much.”

We're looking forward to everything Luis will continue to bring to our team and the young people we serve. 🙌

Help us welcome Kailey DeFina to their new role as Assistant Director/Housing Case Manager at NEPA Youth Shelter! 🎉

Kailey grew up throughout northeastern Pennsylvania and graduated from West Scranton High School. They went on to attend college in Rhode Island, where they earned a double major in just three years! Their experience includes working at a Girl Scout camp, the Children’s Advocacy Center of NEPA, and as an event coordinator.

Kailey has always loved working with kids and has seen firsthand the power of a community coming together to support its young people. They believe NEPA Youth Shelter provides something truly special: a space where teens can be themselves, explore their interests, and discover who they are.

“I want every young person who comes into the shelter to know that they are important. We are a space specifically to support them and their passions. No matter who you are, we are here for you.”

We’re thrilled to have Kailey join our team and look forward to all the ways they’ll help us continue supporting the young people of NEPA. 👏
