Urban Peak works with homeless and runaway youth between the ages of 14 and 24 years of age. We provide a safe and caring place so that you can begin to work on getting off the streets. We offer assistance in Denver and in Colorado Springs. If you are older than 24 or younger than 14, we can still help find a shelter or similar organization that help people in any age group.
