Cocoon House Information

Cocoon House has been Snohomish County's only resource exclusively serving homeless and at-risk youth ages 12-24 for over 25 years. We believe that every child deserves a home and the opportunity to achieve his or her fullest potential. We serve teens through housing services, street outreach, and teen homelessness prevention. From our grassroots beginnings, we have responded to the changing needs of our community. Since inception, in 1991, we have increased shelter space by 350% and now house more than 230 youth each year. In addition, through street outreach, prevention, education and a youth drop-in resource center, we reached over 2,500 youth, parents, and community members annually. Our mission is to empower young people, families and the community to break the cycle of homelessness through outreach, housing and prevention. We're 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. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We seek to provide equal opportunity for all persons without regard to race, age, color, religion, gender, gender expression, marital status, sexual orientation, military status, national origin, or any other characteristic protected under the law. We are dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic workforce, committed to working in a multicultural environment and we strongly encourage applications from veterans, and marginalized populations; including people of color, women and those in the LGBTQ community.
