Our young people deserve safety and shelter, and many youths feel they don’t have either. Thanks to Safe Place, immediate help is never too far away.

Safe Place provides access to immediate help and supportive resources for youth in need. As a community initiative, the program designates schools, fire stations, libraries, and other youth-friendly organizations as Safe Place locations, which display the yellow and black sign. Additionally, every Greensboro Transit Authority bus is a mobile Safe Place site and Spartan Chariot buses at UNC-G. Safe Place locations extend the doors of Youth Focus’ emergency shelter, Act Together, to support teens in crisis situations, creating a safety net for youth.

Youth Focus supports Safe Place locations throughout Guilford, Randolph, and Davidson counties.  Each Safe Place location receives training and support, and the staff at Act Together are available 24/7 to assist.
