AMBASSADOR CIRCLE
LETTER TO THE MEMBERS
It is an honor to welcome you to the Youth Haven Ambassador Circle.
Youth Haven is Southwest Florida’s only emergency and residential shelter for boys and girls ages 10-20 who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect or abandonment. Youth Haven is an immediate lifeline of safety, love and compassion for innocent children in crisis and the first step in a long journey back to trust, confidence and joy.
The Ambassadors’ Circle elevates the awareness, impact, and support for Youth Haven by providing supporters with opportunities to become more actively engaged advocates for the Youth Haven mission.
With our initial launch in early November 2021, we now have over 100
Ambassador Circle members. Since inception we have escorted the youth on
Christmas shopping trips, hosted a gingerbread house and cookie decorating
party on campus, wrapped presents, gathered presents/gift cards from residents within our communities, escorted youth on post holiday shopping trips, hosted a Valentine Party and a beach day. Additionally, members have enjoyed a Meet and Greet and a summer gathering celebrating the milestone of our first 100 members.
