Vashon Youth and Family Services fosters a thriving community of emotionally healthy and resilient children, youth, adults, and families.

We prioritize serving Vashon’s most vulnerable populations and communities, particularly those who face systemic barriers to accessing services and/or belong to groups historically excluded from resources, recovery and power.
