Our Story

Robyne’s Nest was founded by Robyne Wood to ensure that students experiencing homelessness or severe housing instability—especially those without consistent adult support—have the stability they need to complete their education and move toward self-sufficiency and independence.

Today, Robyne’s Nest continues that mission with a dedicated team, committed volunteers, and community partners—providing safe housing, basic needs assistance, access to mental health and wellness supports, practical life skills education, and steady, caring adult relationships that help students regain stability and plan for their future.

We have the opportunity and responsibility, as a community, to take care of these students and not leave them behind!

Our Vision

We believe that education, stability, and trusted relationships are essential to long-term independence. Young people are best positioned to succeed when they have not only a safe place to live, but also adults who are invested in their growth and future.

Our vision is a community where young people facing housing instability have the structure, guidance, and encouragement needed to complete their education and transition into productive, independent adulthood.

Who We Serve & Work With

Robyne’s Nest supports high school students and young adults in the years that follow graduation who are experiencing homelessness or severe housing instability.

We work in partnership with local school districts, school administrators, and community providers across Huntington Beach and neighboring communities to identify students at critical moments and provide consistent support, accountability, and continuity of care through their transition to independence.
