Our Commitment to Community Solutions

Support System  

Located on the second floor of Northtown Mall, our Community Care Education and Empowerment Center provides a safe, welcoming space for youth and young adults daily from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, a crucial time when many young people require connection and support. This initiative is part of our broader community health collaboration to address urgent issues, including fentanyl awareness and preventable deaths among young populations.  

We are seeking volunteers who are committed to engaging with this demographic, building trust, and helping young individuals navigate complex systems.  

Volunteers must be willing to complete peer support pre-training through the Washington State LMS system and pass a background check.  

This is an opportunity to meet youth where they are, offer guidance, and contribute to creating pathways to support, stability, and meaningful connections.  

To get involved, please contact us.

Community Care Center

The Community Care Center is a low-barrier, self-service space designed to provide access to prevention tools, information, and community resources aimed at promoting community health collaboration. While individuals can independently explore supports such as Addiction Help Finder and other local services, we understand that access alone is not sufficient.

Community needs connection.

The purpose of this space is to offer a welcoming, supportive presence where individuals can connect with someone who will listen without judgment, provide guidance, and help them navigate available resources when needed, particularly in light of fentanyl awareness and the need to prevent preventable deaths.

This is not a clinical setting. It is a place for conversation, connection, and support, where people can take the next step at their own pace.

Volunteer Opportunities

Gabriel’s Challenge is actively seeking volunteers to support our community forums, coalition meetings, and ongoing community engagement efforts focused on community health collaboration. 

Volunteers play a crucial role in creating spaces that foster connection, conversation, and solutions to issues like fentanyl awareness and preventable deaths.

Opportunities include:

- Assisting with event setup and tear down

- Supporting community forums and coalition meetings

- Taking and organizing meeting notes

- Helping with outreach and spreading the word

- Supporting coordination and organization behind the scenes

This is your chance to be part of a community-driven effort aimed at promoting connection, collaboration, and immediate solutions. 

Whether you are looking to contribute your time, build experience, or support meaningful work in addressing community health needs, there is a place for you here.
