The Story of
Compound of Compassion
Compound of Compassion (The Compound) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Shana Shaw in March 2018 in Aurora, Colorado. Our mission is to provide affordable housing and support services for individuals experiencing homelessness, with a special focus on youth and young adults up to 26 years of age, an often-overlooked group in need of resources and guidance. By creating safe havens for diverse communities, we aim to foster environments where everyone can thrive, building a healthy, people-driven community.
From Passion to Purpose
The Road That Led Here
Over the last few years, our organization operated on a mentorship model rooted in the belief that individuals who have overcome challenges are uniquely equipped to guide others through similar journeys. As The Compound grew, it became a safe, supportive space for diverse communities, offering wellness initiatives for single mothers, services for veterans and individuals with disabilities, and Generation Drive-Thru, a youth and young adult program that thrived during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, we facilitated transitional housing and affordable living opportunities to foster personal transformation and long-term growth. During this time, we also introduced Safe Zones, Girlz with Altitude, Fashion Weekend, and the Safe Zone Shut-In, underscoring our commitment to creating inclusive environments where every individual can flourish and overcome adversity.
Why We Exist
Driven by Compassion, Grounded in Action
Compound of Compassion’s mission is to establish a self-sustaining environment dedicated to healing and empowering youth and young adults through a holistic approach. Our comprehensive program aims to support individuals navigating life’s challenges by offering: safe and stable housing, access to healthcare services, educational opportunities, life and job skills training, financial literacy education and peer-to-peer mentorship from young individuals who understand their journey. Our goal is to foster resilience, independence, and well-being among youth and young adults, ensuring they have the resources and support necessary to thrive.
