Empowering youth and families through connection, self-efficacy, and independence. These youth frequently have not had the influence of a stable caring adult.

The Matthews House Program Descriptions

The Youth Program serves youth ages 16-21 who lack significant family support in their lives as they transition into adulthood. Many are or have been part of the foster care system or have been involved in the juvenile justice system. The Matthews House provides the resources and support necessary to empower these youth to take control of their lives, shape

positive futures for themselves and become successful contributors to their community. Strengthening Families Program is a voluntary program that provides one-on-one facilitation to help at risk families build resiliency and navigate difficulties in the areas of parenting, money management, job readiness and healthy relationships. This short term service (typically 3 to 6 months) increases self-sufficiency of families, reduces the need for children to be removed to out-of-home placements such as foster care and breaks the very cycle that leads youth to need our youth transition services later in life. Building Community at The Matthews House Community Life Center (CLC) opened in July 2012 and was created through a collaboration with Poudre School District and the Department of Human Services, the CLC is currently located at Fullana Early Learning Center, 220 N Grant Avenue. This Center serves as a consolidated location for vital services and specialized, enriching programs for families so that barriers are reduced and families can attain what they need to learn, improve and become stronger-and in turn, make our community stronger.

200 miles. 38 legs. One incredible community.

Last year, the Wild West Relay raised $35,000 for The Matthews House — funding safe housing, family programs, and life-changing support for youth across Northern Colorado. This year, teams are lacing up again to top it.

Can't run but want to be part of it? You can still make an impact by donating in support of their efforts. Every dollar counts — and last year proved just how far this community is willing to go.

Still smiling thinking about this night.

From the silent auction to the birthday boxes, from the speeches to the conversations in between. The 21st Annual Celebration was everything we could have hoped for and more. Every person in that room showed up for youth and families across Northern Colorado, and we felt every bit of it.

Thank you to our sponsors, donors, auction contributors, and everyone who joined us. You made it a night worth remembering — and a community worth celebrating.

Here's to 21 years of showing up together. 🥂

Some of the most generous people we know are still in school. 💚

This spring, we were invited to share our story with students across three schools in Larimer County through the Give Next program by the Bohemian Foundation — a youth-led grantmaking program that puts real funding decisions in the hands of young people.

Those students chose to invest $4,500 in the work of The Matthews House. We are so moved by their generosity and their belief in the youth and families we serve.

Thank you to every student who listened, asked questions, and chose to give. You are already changing your community.
