Virtual Auction!

Every year, in celebration of Coming Home, many local and national brands and artists donate goods for AYA’s Virtual Auction.

Every dollar bid is a dollar raised in support of AYA Youth and young people experiencing instability in West Michigan.

Coming Home!

Coming Home is AYA’s annual event where we invite you to join us in celebrating the accomplishments of youth in Grand Rapids!

AYA supports ~700 youth at our Drop-in Center and operates 12 Homes in order to provide affordable housing for young people.

Join the Collective!

Join the Collective is a community of AYA recurring donors building up one another as we each find our own ways to create a society where all have belonging – specifically in which youth can have access to authentic relationships, helpful resources, and sustainable housing.

Support AYA with intentionality and sustainability by becoming a monthly donor!

Who We Are

People are the heartbeat of our mission and vision. Together we come as we are, with all of our passions and talents to the table in the name of building authentic relationships and quality resources that help break cycles of homelessness in our community!

Learn more about what we’ve accomplished, our team, and why we’re so committed to ensuring resources are available to youth on their journey toward stability!

Youth Resources

We believe in the agency, resilience, and creativity. We also recognize there are gaps and barriers in our community that prevent youth from accessing and fully taking advantage of opportunities. This is where our resources meet them. We aim to have every resource create spaces for youth to belong, be themselves, and find stability.
