What an incredible night! Thank you to everyone who made the 4th Annual Robyne’s Nest Chili Cookoff on October 11 such a heartwarming success.

Last week, Sandy Dorton from Project SHIELD led an impactful Life Skills session at Westminster High School for staff and parents, focusing on sextortion and online sex trafficking.

At Robyne’s Nest, we’re always inspired by individuals who share our mission of Breaking Cycles & Changing Lives. This season, we’re excited to welcome Ian White to our team as an Intern with our Student Care department!

Our friends at Model Citizen (@modelcitizenhb) are hosting a Shop & Save Fundraiser for Robyne’s Nest from October 24th–28th!

College Master Plan shared knowledge with students about vocational schools, certifications, and non-traditional career paths. From vocational schools and certifications to unique and rewarding career journeys, students learned how thinking outside the box can open doors to new opportunities.

This fall, we are thrilled to welcome two new staff members whose skills, passion, and compassion will help us continue Breaking Cycles & Changing Lives.

Huge thanks to our friends at Segerstrom Center for the Arts for partnering with us during the run of & Juliet to host a Hygiene Supplies Drive!

From backpacks and grab-n-go snacks to charging cords, lip balms, and generous monetary donations, T.E.A.M. Power & HB City Staff’s efforts made sure our youth are prepared and cared for as they head into the school year.

Our very own Nicole Trani is now Director of Student Services! 💚

For 3 years, she’s been:
✨ Leading student programs
✨ Streamlining how we support students
✨ Building an amazing student care team

In July, Nuvision Credit Union hosted an incredible month-long Back-to-School Drive, collecting everything from brand-new socks and shoes to cozy hoodies. Thanks to their generosity—and yours—local high school students will start the year not only prepared, but feeling confident, cared for, and supported.

We are incredibly honored to be featured in the LA Times / Daily Pilot! A heartfelt thank-you to Matt Szabo for taking the time to share our story and shine a light on the work we do to support at-risk and homeless youth in our community.

Kapri Kelley, granddaughter of our wonderful volunteers Lori & Pete Brunner, set up a lemonade stand this summer—and chose to donate part of her proceeds to Robyne’s Nest!
