As a multi-cultural organization our mission is to be in relationship with homeless and street-involved young people, serving and loving in the way of Jesus, equipping them to leave street life.

Description:
New Horizons Ministries (NHM) believes that the best thing we have to offer homeless youth is relationship. NHM believes that love and hope are essential ingredients in helping youth make lasting life changes. The youth we serve face daunting physical, social, emotional, developmental, and spiritual challenges. Change is often a long, uphill climb and we are committed to walk beside the youth each step of the way.

Developmentally and culturally, youth living on the streets don't live or look towards tomorrow. It is difficult for them to imagine life off the streets. Following the example of Jesus, we endeavor to provide resources, hope, encouragement and support for youth who are beginning their journey away from street life.

History:
New Horizons Ministries is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian ministry that was formed in 1978 in response to the growing problems of youth involved in street activity in downtown Seattle.

We have served many thousands of youth, each with their own face, name, and story. The Mission Statement and Statement of Faith lay the foundation for how we serve each of these individuals.
