The Community Steps Up for Homeless Youth

This summer, members of the community are stepping up to help youth at Urban Peak.  From songwriting workshops, to hairdos, to screen printing, and more, we greatly appreciate the efforts of these amazing people to share their lives.  

Stu Alden of Idaho Stew and Ink Lounge demonstrates the art of screen printing for youth in UP Education and Employment’s Job Readiness program as part of a summer long workshop series.

See more of the amazing work going on in the screen printing workshop here.

Stylists from Babooska salon got together at their shop on Colfax to give a group of UP youth a gift of self-confidence though free haircuts and styles.

Award-winning Nashville songwriter Andy Hackbarth works with youth at the UP Shelter in a songwriting workshop. Hackbarth also collected donations for Urban Peak at his recent CD release party.

COMMUNITY DAY 2010

Each year, the Concerts For Kids’ Community Day brings 800 volunteers together to complete over 4,800 hours of work in one, six-hour day. On May 22, 30 volunteers will be working at Urban Peak’s Shelter helping repair and paint in the youth dorms. Urban Peak also partners with CFK on the Tiri’s Garden urban gardening project.
