We are grateful to Invesco Real Estate, and for Kristina and her team for their support of our local at-risk and homeless students!

Last week many of our students completed a beautiful hike through Peter’s Canyon, then enjoyed an evening of food, live music and dancing at the Irvine Regional Park summer concert.

Robyne’s Nest is truly grateful for our amazing community! Because of your generosity, during April-June, we were able to provide many essential resources to our students in need:

Research shows homeless adolescents use substances earlier and more often than housed teens. Marijuana has been identified as the drug of choice in this population, and, in addition to traditional e-cigarettes with nicotine, many teens are now vaping marijuana.

Our recent Life Skills class, Unlocking Your Potential - Turning Goals into Growth, focused on setting and accomplishing goals.

Robyne's Nest Graduation event last week celebrated all of our student graduates, as well as students outside Robyne's Nest who were selected to receive our scholarships.

Once again we are thankful for Chris Lee, Founder and president of Sakos Apparel/Sakos-USA for his recent donation of high quality, sustainable backpacks.

Mid-June our students worked on a volunteer project removing mustard grass from the Bolsa Chica Conservancy Wetlands.

Robyne’s Nest is excited about the renovation and expansion of our student house, and want to give a HUGE thank you to the National Charity League Newport Chapter for their recent grant!

Our Fireside Chat program introduces students to careers with live professionals in the field, and provides the opportunity for students interact and ask questions for a deeper understanding of the career.

Last week, Fountain Valley Regional Hospital donated and delivered over 700 boxes of cereal for our students in-need!

Learning to cook healthy meals on a budget supports both physical wellbeing and financial management skills…important elements for our students on their paths to self-sufficiency.

Our Robyne’s Nest mission includes community education to proactively support our youth. In early June we assisted Marina High School during their Wellness Week.
