On a hot afternoon in late September, members of our SpeakOut team dramatized the realities of being young and homeless, from wondering where to find toilet paper while living on the streets to the heartbreak of being bullied at school.
In "Voices from Ozone" (written and directed by Eastern Michigan University student Jenny Roger with input from Ozone youth), half a dozen young performers in their teens and 20s called on legislators, judges, and other decision-makers to learn more and do a better job of helping homeless youth.
November 1: Krista Girty began her tenure as Executive Director.
November-December: Krista and Katie Doyle will work together to ensure a smooth transition.
December 7: Look for an invitation to a Going Away/Welcome party!
Late December: Katie will transition out of Ozone House, after a wonderful 17+ year run!
January and beyond: Ozone House's front door will always be open to young people and families for the award-winning, life-changing supports and services we have been providing for nearly 50 years.
Would you like to donate to Ozone House this holiday season? Whether you are an individual, family, group, or business, there are many ways to give.
Please visit our Holiday Giving Guide.
Young people had a blast at our annual HallOzone party at the Drop-In Center in Ypsilanti on October 26th. It was a "fear factor" smorgasbord of scary foods!
Lots of folks also came out for YpsiGlow on October 27th. Many youth and staff worked for weeks on great glowing costumes. We love being a part of this spirited event!
#GivingTuesday i
s a global day of giving that follows Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
