The Ain Dah Yung Center – which means “our home” in the Ojibwe language – is an emergency shelter for runaway and homeless American Indian youth and provides a healing place within the community to thrive in safety and wholeness.

ADYC provides a continuum of care and services recognizing that, in American Indian culture, you can’t grow as a person until you have honor, dignity, and respect for both yourself and everything around you. Each year, ADYC provides services to about 1,100 youth and families, using traditional American Indian beliefs as a starting point for personal and community growth.
