“I feel like a different person after being at Sisu, and everybody there had an impact on me.”
Look back at ten years of Sisu with interviews from our Founder, Penny Reynolds, former Executive Director, Jamie Caves, current Executive Director, Rachel Bradley, and former client, Jay!
“Sisu is meaningful… The interactions with clients; the interactions with staff are meaningful. If you are looking for some way to be of service, come to Sisu.”
“Housing is a place to be safe. To us, that seems kind of like a no-brainer, but to someone who has been in survival mode their whole lives, that’s completely life-changing.”
“When I was looking for opportunities to volunteer, Sisu’s mission to house and support ALL young people really spoke to me.”
“Sisu does a really good job of making sure that youth feel connected and that youth feel a part of.”
“Having the ability to be safe and deal with housing first, before having to deal with all these other issues in their life, is just so important.”
“I think that’s what Sisu creates; the ability for youth to dream about their lives.”
“It’s amazing that it’s a place for these kids to belong and feel like they have community and like they have support.”
“Because of this program, I have the opportunity to thrive in life.”
“My goals for the future are to graduate high school and to go to school for nursing.”
“I saw a change in my mental health. It got a lot better than what it was when I was homeless.”
“Nobody deserves to be sleeping on concrete steps and worrying where their next meal is going to come from.”
