Trust
We cultivate an environment of honesty, transparency, and dependability, ensuring youth feel safe, valued, and heard as they navigate their personal and professional journeys. Our trust in them helps build their confidence.
Collaboration
We believe in the power of partnership and community. By working together—youth, staff, partners, and community—we build stronger networks, and achieve shared goals. We believe a supportive community is critical for personal and collective growth and rely on our ecosystem to create opportunity for young people.
Learning
We champion continuous learning to create profound impact in our work. We have a growth mindset, we welcome feedback, and we use it as a tool to get better. We are excited by new challenges and make changes as needed that serve our community.
Innovation
We inspire young people to be future-oriented and imagine beyond their current circumstances. We take an intentional, forward-looking approach to break the cycles of systemic inequity faced by youth. By focusing on creative solutions, long-term impact and sustainability, we support future generations.
New Door Ventures was founded in 1981 as a ministry of a Christian organization seeking to live out its faith through acts of service to people experiencing significant poverty and homelessness. Over the years, New Door has evolved to become a community-based nonprofit agency that drives innovative, evidence-based youth development strategies to help young people discover and achieve their potential. New Door treats the young people it serves with dignity and seeks to listen and learn from their lived experiences as they engage in programs.
New Door remains committed to affirming that every life has equal value regardless of race, faith, tradition, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, age, veteran status, or disability. We love young people as they are, and we are grateful that they allow us to walk alongside them as they build up their lives. We welcome all who wish to support our work and join us in recreating our communities, one person at a time.
Make a gift with a lasting difference.
