We are hitting the streets! But not likely we normally do, reaching out to struggling youth needing help. Instead, this time we are reaching out to our neighbors.
We are going to be going business to business around all of our Everett sites in order to better introduce Cocoon House: who we are, what we do, how we can help them, and how they can help us. We want to educate all the businesses around us how to best interact with any homeless or at-risk youth they might encounter, what services Cocoon House provides, as well as ways that the businesses could make a positive impact in their own backyard by supporting the work we do.
We will be going out in small groups of 2-4 people with some printed materials and having conversations (hopefully) with the business managers and owners. We will host a quick training on what to communicate to the businesses and how to answer some questions they might have before we go out for the day.
So if you are comfortable striking up conversations with others, enjoy walking and discovering new businesses in Downtown Everett, and are interested in supporting Cocoon House, this is a great opportunity for you!

Mission Statement
The mission of Cocoon House is to empower young people, families, and the community to break the cycle of homelessness through outreach, housing and prevention.
Description
Cocoon House has built, innovated and adapted programs to benefit homeless, at-risk, and disconnected young people in Snohomish County. Opening in 1991 as an 8 bed emergency shelter, Cocoon House quickly grew to include long term housing, street outreach and a nationally recognized prevention program that focuses on parents building their family management skills. These programs work together to address teen homelessness from all angles ensuring the best possible outcomes for young people as they transition into more successful futures.
Cocoon House is strongly committed to removing barriers and supporting inclusion and diversity in all its forms. We strive to create a safe and open atmosphere for young people, families, staff, board members, community partners and funders. We learn from the diverse individuals we work with and embrace their unique attributes to ensure we fulfill our agency mission and core values.
