[nek-suh s] 1. A means of connection; tie; link. 2. A connected series or group.

Since 1973, we have been working with at-risk youth and young adults on the streets of South King County. We provide a continuum of programs designed to assist children and families in their journey to become healthy, self-directed citizens in the community.

Our homeless outreach team provides referral services and transportation for homeless young people seeking food, medical services, mental health services, educational and vocational needs, substance abuse services as well as shelter and permanent housing.

Our Parent Child Interaction Training is designed to strengthen parenting skills and reduce child behavioral problems. The program uses live coaching to help parents learn necessary skills for managing difficult behavior for children between the ages of 3 and 7.

Our prevention and treatment programs rely upon evidence-based best practice models of prevention, intervention and treatment.

We see success every day and so do our clients. In their own words, hear their story.

Looking to give back to the community? We have a number of volunteer opportunities here.
