Urban Peak

The Challenge:

Urban Peak focuses on one of the most vulnerable populations in our community: youth ages 12 through 24 who are experiencing homelessness. The challenges and vulnerabilities that these young people face are hard to imagine. They have little experience living independently prior to homelessness and are often developmentally unprepared to find stability without supportive adults or caring and safe connections.

Our Mission:

Urban Peak ignites the potential in youth to exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives.

Organizational Overview:

Founded in 1988, Urban Peak is the only non-profit organization in Denver that provides a full convergence of services for youth experiencing homelessness. To move from homelessness to safety and stability, youth require intensive, strengths-based case management; access to physical, mental, and behavioral health care; education and employment opportunities; 24/7 crisis support; and a place to call home. Urban Peak meets youth where they are at and ignites a spark that puts them on a path toward self-determined, fulfilled lives.

In 2024, Urban Peak opened its new campus, The Mothership, offering all our wraparound services for youth in one centralized location. Alongside our day services, shelter, transitional housing and wellbeing programs, The Mothership is designed to address youths’ emerging needs by creating stability, building independent living skills and offering case management.
