Notes of Encouragement for Staff & Youth

Our community wanted to tell staff and youth how much they are loved and valued at this challenging time...

Phoenix is committed to being here for youth! We have adjusted the way we work to follow Public Health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, while continuing to provide services, including 24/7 housing and shelter, non-contact outreach and virtual/phone support. Our teams are VERY busy!

There is a lot of talk about essential services, but often staff working for agencies like Phoenix are not mentioned or thanked. Phoenix leadership and our community wanted an opportunity to tell staff and youth how much they are valued and cared about.

Below are their Notes of Encouragement!
