🙌 Giving At-Risk Youth a Brighter Future - Working Fusion at Mill Street

Just South of Downtown Colorado Springs, a special community is nurturing our youth and transforming lives. We Fortify’s Working Fusion At Mill Street provides a lifeline to young adults at risk of homelessness, empowering them to break free from poverty's grip.

A Village of Care and Belonging 🏡

Within this nurturing village of tiny homes, residents find the safety and support so critical to healing and growth. Working Fusion at Mill Street surrounds these youth with compassion - trauma therapy, life skills training, education, and living wage jobs help them gain stability and purpose. As one grateful resident shares, "Coming here gave me the security I desperately needed."

Investing in Promising Futures 🙌

By investing in the potential of these young people, this non-profit plants seeds of promise for our whole community. Their innovative model fosters "healthy whole humans," equipping youth to overcome hardship and live independently. When given the chance, these youth can blossom into adults who uplift others, give back, and lead.

Cultivating Brighter Tomorrows ☀️

Our youth are our future. By caring for teens and young adults in crisis, they help ensure a brighter tomorrow. Their message is one of hope - with compassion and opportunity, lives transform. Abuse, addiction, poverty and trauma need not define one's path.

Join the Mission ❤️

You can help cultivate this vision of hope. Support Working Fusion At Mill Street through donations, volunteering, or spreading their message of care for our youth. When we fortify those most vulnerable, our whole community grows stronger.

Colorado Springs Town Tidings is proud to feature a transformative mission in our midst — Working Fusion at Mill Street. It’s not just about providing shelter; it’s about shaping futures, offering our at risk youth the support and opportunities they need to overcome adversity and succeed.
