welcome
The mission of YouthAbility is to offer a multifaceted program which promotes education, training and self-empowerment for the young adults of our community.
Our focus is in assisting youth who are emancipating out of foster care and young adults living in low income and/or poverty-level lifestyles.
YouthAbility is committed to young adults creating positive, self-supporting and long-term independence within our community.
YouthAbility is a nonprofit organization that creates job learning opportunities for at-risk youth.

A TRAINEE
“I’ve learned a ton about the importance of being on time, having a positive attitude at work and respecting myself and coworkers.”

Angels of Hope Thrift Store
Why shop here?
Although most thrift shops benefit worthy organizations, YouthAbility’s flagship store offers unique benefits to our community. One hundred percent of our profits go to training local at-risk youth for the job market. In keeping with our mission, we work with county programs and professional facilitators to educate otherwise hard-to-employ youth in basic work skills and ethics.
The biggest reason to visit our store in Arcata, however, is because it’s a great place to shop: some of the lowest prices, one of the largest inventories and specially trained staff. We invite you to come on over soon. Click here for more store information.
