Mike‘s Search For Meaning

#56 - Beth Burns on Supporting Homeless Youth to Affirm Personal Worth and Create More Meaningful & Healthier Lives


Listen Later

Beth Burns, a Chicago native, moved to Portland in 1997 for its vast beauty. She worked at Sisters of the Road Café before serving as the director of the Greenhouse Learning Center, a GED based alternative school.



In 2002, she and her 2 colleagues founded p:ear, a program for homeless youth. She serves as a co-founder and Executive Director of p:ear and is incredibly grateful to spend her days with these vibrant, strong and creative young people. And after all these years, she still walks into p:ear each day with wonder and hope.


Beth, her husband, 10-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter spend their time exploring the Pacific Northwest seeking adventure in nature.

Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called p:ear. Any and all donations make a difference!
