HOW OUTREACH WORKS
Education, advocacy and collaboration are key practices for Youth Outreach Workers (YOW's) who are specifically trained and experienced to support the needs of youth and to work in partnership with their families, other community programs and agencies and educators.
Youth (ages 12- 21) are assisted through traditional and non-traditional support or emergency services to case managment, housing, education and employment.
YOW's do not receive formal referrals for service. Services occur through direct engagement with the youth and depend upon the availability of YOW's in the community. YOW's do not provide crisis intervention or transportation and are not intended to be the primary source of engagement.
