Introducing New Wellness Network Partner - The Nest!

Vespertine is happy to announce that The Nest is now a part of our Wellness Network! 

The Nest is one of three staple programs of the local non-profit supporting youth and young adults, OWL360. The Nest is the the only non-profit coffee house in town, marking the beginning of the community coffeehouse which welcomes all ages and offers programs and events for youth and young adults.

Located in uptown Port Townsend, The Nest provides resources, connection, and supportive services to engage young people in real-world-readiness skills so they can authentically achieve sustainable independence. It also offers locally roasted, organic, fair trade coffee, Lotus energy drinks, a variety of teas, food options, and a welcoming place with comfortable seating to relax and connect.

The Nest also provides art, entertainment, gaming, and music weaving in certified peer allies, a substance use peer specialist, resource navigator, and a mental health provider. Whether it's participation on the Youth and Young Adult Advisory Council (YYAAC), taking a ukulele lesson or financial literacy workshop, learning about consent, attending an 18+ event, getting help with a resume, college applications or just hanging out, The Nest successfully impacts the lives of countless local young people fostering a positive environment for growth, learning, and exploration.
