About this service
We serve people from 13-25 and sometimes beyond depending on the situation. We regularly see 10-15 core youth every week (either by appointment or in passing), regularly meeting new youth (high school programs, working alongside Warmland, OPS and Bikeworks), provide outreach to the local schools, as well as a few young mothers in the community.
The teams provide homeless youth access to services, nourishment, social connectivity and empathy. Whether it is taking someone for a coffee, providing critical support or simply listening, Youth Outreach Workers are often the only friendly face at-risk youth encounter in their daily lives.
The Youth Outreach Team mini-van frequents camp areas and other temporary sites to supply homeless youth with such necessities as water, food, clothing, tents, blankets, and even basic first aid. Many of the youth who are connected with the Outreach team are focused on survival, often self-medicating to get through their day.
