At Youth Outreach Services, we are daily motivated by the strength and courage of the youth we serve. These kids face monumental struggles such as abuse, homelessness, poverty and joblessness. In the best of times, they and their families struggle to attain the resources and support they need to remain safe, healthy and ready to learn. In a difficult economy, these resources diminish, and, desperate for survival, many turn to gangs, drugs and alcohol, and crime.

We have a heart for serving these kids. Despite the struggles we, too, are facing in this economy, we remain committed to helping kids feel safe at home, remain in school, avoid substance abuse and gang involvement, and make positive choices. We will not give up, for it is now when kids need us most!
