We offer programs to facilitate youth’s transition off the streets.
From a hot meal and shower to case management and job training, we meet youth where they are to reconnect them to their God-given potential and empower them into success.
Because youth may arrive distraught, disconnected, or disillusioned, we seek to be a safe place where they will be accepted for who they are. Inspired by the love of Jesus, we offer our services and love to any and everyone who comes to us in need of assistance, because each person deserves to be loved, seen, known, and respected.
Reach Out, Invite In
Staff and volunteers go out to the streets to build relationships and invite young people to take advantage of our services.
Meet Basic Needs
Seven days a week, youth can access basic services like a clothes & supply closet, showers, laundry, and shelter.
Move Into Sustainability
Youth dream big about their futures in relationships with our direct service staff, in our day programs, or through job training.
