YOTO Faqs

When are you open?

YOTO is open Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm. Our Mini Mall is open Monday to Friday, 11am to 5pm.

Can I tour the Mini Mall?

Absolutely! We’d be happy to welcome you to our campus and show you how YOTO supports youth.
Please reach out to schedule a tour.

Which building should I go to if I come to YOTO?

Donations can be made at our Donation Center drive through at the back of 2525 N Country Club. Just follow the arrows!

If you are a current or potential YOTO youth, please visit our Mini Mall at 2525 N Country Club. The entrance is in the front.

If you are a supporter or would like to learn more about YOTO, please reach out so we can schedule a time to meet with you. All adults should first come to our administrative building, 2509 N Country Club, rather than the Mini Mall.

What do you need most?

YOTO spends over $1M each year on the core of our program: the earned academic stipend. As costs rise, we must continue to raise the amount youth can earn to ensure that the stipend is still a powerful incentive to stay in school. Therefore, financial contributions are always appreciated!

In addition, our MIni Mall is also stocked largely by donations from the community! You can find a list of most-needed items here on our website. If you have any other questions about donating, please reach out by phone or email anytime!

Do you pick up donations?

Generally, we do not pick up donations. Exceptions are made occasionally, however, so reach out if you’re unable to bring a donation by our offices.

I know of a youth who might be eligible for your services. How do I put them in contact with you?

YOTO’s application process is fully online. Youth can fill out the application here. If the youth needs help with the application or has any questions, please feel free to have them reach out to us anytime.

Does YOTO offer housing?

YOTO does not offer housing for youth. When a youth needs housing, we refer them to one of our partner agencies.
