A beacon of hope for brighter futures

Changing Colors LLC was founded to honor the life and legacy of Quintin Rashard-Jmarr Forest. We are dedicated to providing compassionate, barrier-free social services to at-risk youth in Dayton, Ohio, who have experienced or are vulnerable to exploitation, substance use, or homelessness. Our mission is to restore dignity, stability, and hope, meeting young people where they are and guiding them toward safer, healthier futures.

Our impact, your support

At Changing Colors, we offer a comprehensive suite of specialized services designed to meet the unique and pressing needs of at-risk youth. Our approach is holistic, focusing on immediate relief and long-term empowerment to foster genuine change and resilience.

Immediate support

We provide critical, immediate assistance through safe drop-in services, offering a secure and welcoming environment where youth can find refuge from the streets and access essential help without judgment.

Basic necessities

Addressing fundamental needs, we ensure access to nourishment, hygiene facilities, and clean clothing. These provisions are crucial for restoring a sense of self-worth and physical well-being.

Identification assistance

Navigating bureaucratic hurdles can be challenging. We assist youth in obtaining vital identification documents, a key step towards accessing housing, employment, and other essential services.

Guidance & pathways

Beyond immediate needs, we connect youth with resources for education, skill-building, and stable housing, helping them chart a course towards independence and a hopeful future.

"Changing Colors truly changed my life. They met me with compassion when I had nowhere else to turn, providing not just food and shelter, but also the encouragement and resources I needed to get back on my feet. I am forever grateful for their unwavering support."

A grateful youth, Dayton, Ohio
