About the Venue

Join us at The Eastside Scrapyard for a transformational evening celebrating Youth Home. At ESSY, rusty metal becomes art. Abandoned materials find new purpose. What others might overlook becomes beautiful. Sound familiar?

This is exactly what Youth Home has done for 60 years—seen potential where others saw problems, created beauty from brokenness, and transformed lives others had abandoned.

Every exposed beam, every reclaimed fixture reminds us: transformation is possible. Second chances are real. What seems beyond repair can become extraordinary.

On May 2nd, as you walk through ESSY’s doors, you’re stepping into a space that believes what we believe—that with the right environment, support, and care, anything can be transformed into something beautiful and purposeful.

Why Youth Home needs
your support

Since 1966, Youth Home has served youth and adolescents who struggle with severe mental illness, offering the highest quality of care in the most home-like environment possible.

Our mission is to equip youth and their families to become contributing members of their community by providing compassionate psychiatric and behavioral health care.
