Vida's Ark

Vida's Ark, a homeless shelter for teen moms and their children, was founded by Julie Hanke a school counselor in the Vancouver School District. She worked day in and day out with young teens who found themselves pregnant with nowhere to go. Hanke saw a need for a safe home for these students so set out to create one. Today Vida's Ark provides shelter and programs to help teen mothers become self-sufficient. They complete their high school education; learn child development, parenting skills, budgeting and other life skills necessary for long term independence.
