Our Story
Robyne’s Nest was created by Robyne Wood, a Huntington Beach wife and mother of two children, to help provide funds and resources to help at-risk students and create a path for them to successfully complete high school.
Many of these students lack support from their parents for basic needs like food, housing, academics, and even safety. They continue going to school looking for security, routine and a place to belong. We take a proactive approach and support those needs to keep our youth away from drugs, crime, homelessness, human trafficking, and early parenthood and on a path to self-sufficiency. We want to re-write their story for a better future.
“We have the opportunity and responsibility, as a community, to take care of these students and not leave them behind!”
Our Vision
Robyne’s Nest provides resources, funds and support to our at-risk and homeless students in the Huntington Beach and Newport Mesa School Districts.
Robyne’s Nest was created to help at-risk or homeless high school students who have been abandoned, kicked out, or are just being neglected by their parents or guardians. We also help those students, whose parents are simply unable to provide for them. These students, despite their difficult and unfavorable circumstances, want to go to school. They don’t drop out, turn to drugs or criminal activity. They want to be part of something and to be supported, but they generally don’t ask for help. The schools, with limited resources, are struggling to help these kids thrive and finish school. We provide resources, funds, and extra manpower to help these educators bridge the gap for these students and keep them on track to becoming productive members of our community.
“With so many reactive agencies in our communities trying to “fix” our broken adults, we are being proactive by focusing on the maturing teen and helping them get set on a path to self-sufficiency. It starts here and now in these formative teenage years. Without the guidance, assistance and basic necessities to thrive and learn, they will only continue to struggle.”
