The Embracing Project

The Embracing Project is a youth organization at 800 E Charleston Blvd in Las Vegas, zip 89104, focused on young people ages 5 to 18, with services grouped into 5-12 and 13-18 age brackets. Rather than a recreational program, this is a support services organization, and the program list reflects that: case management, crisis intervention, housing support, food and hygiene assistance, referrals and linkages, mental health services, trauma-informed care, life skills development, positive youth development, a youth navigation and mentorship program, and a youth advisory board.

The brief description notes that the organization supports youth experiencing homelessness or housing instability, which lines up with the housing support and crisis intervention services on the program list. This is not a drop-in activity center in the traditional sense, and families or youth-serving professionals looking for this kind of support should know it before reaching out.

The organization is marked as special needs friendly, with accommodations listed for mental health counseling, emotional and behavioral support, therapy services, inclusive programs, and general special needs support. The site itself is described as a safe space, and referrals and linkages to other services are offered on top of direct programming.

Hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the office closed on Saturday and Sunday. The organization operates year-round rather than on a seasonal or school-calendar basis.

Services are listed as free, which matters for families or youth who may not have another way to access case management or mental health support. For questions about eligibility, how to make a referral, or how a young person can connect with the youth advisory board or mentorship program, call (702) 463-6929 or visit theembracingproject.org.

Anyone working with a young person in crisis, or a youth who needs housing, food, or emotional support in the Las Vegas area, should reach out during weekday business hours to learn more about intake and available services.
