019 Help us build a Street Youth Outreach Program!

Save to Favorites

You will soon find that being a street outreach counselor is dramatically different from anything you've ever done before! National statistics report the number of homeless kids at over 1.5 million. Over 500 thousand are under the age of 15, some as young as nine!As counselors we're going to go the streets and try to reach these kids! We are going to try and try again. We will walk the streets week after week never knowing the "real" number of kids that we are reaching. We may never know, that a few years from now, a youngster was able to leave the streets because of the commitment and work we are doing today. Don't give up, they need us!The single greatest need, for homeless and street kids is our continuous caring and real support. We must convince them that we care, we want them back, and we want to help them get off the streets.All to often we've heard the term "the kids have fallen through the cracks." I submit that it is more than a crack that a million kids can fall through.
