Our Partnership with Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness (USARA) provides Advocacy collaboration opportunities as well as a meeting space for our regular Monday night, public All-Recovery Meeting. Additionally, our partnership with the Volunteers of America Youth Resource Center (VOA-YRC) allows us an opportunity to bring Community Engagement opportunities, All-Recovery Meeting and Workshops to adolescents experiencing homelessness.

We are always looking for new members, Community Partners, Event Sponsors and new ways to grow. We are very active in our YPR-SLC Facebook group which has over 700 members. Events and schedules are posted there.
