About

STREET YOUTH MINISTRY (SYM) SERVES STREET-DEPENDENT YOUTH ("CLIENTS") IN THREE AREAS: FRONT DOOR SERVICES, CORE SERVICES, AND REFERRAL SERVICES. IN 2017, SYM MET WITH 453 UNIQUE CLIENTS 9,117 TIMES. THE NUMBER OF UNIQUE CLIENTS WAS 10% REDUCED FROM 2016 BUT THE NUMBER OF VISITS AND HOURS OF SERVICES DELIVERED WAS INCREASED. FRONT DOOR SERVICES WERE MOSTLY MOVED INTO OUR FACILITY IN AN EVENT CALLED DROP-IN CO-OP. WE SERVED 96 INDIVIDUALS OUTDOORS AND 300 IN OUR NEW COME-AND-GO INDOOR EVENT CALLED DROP-IN CO-OP. WE MET AN AVERAGE OF 3.5 NEW CLIENTS EACH WEEK IN 2017. OUR CORE SERVICES ARE HELD INDOORS AT OUR NEW LEASED FACILITY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE DAY WHEN WE HOLD IT IN A PARTNER CHURCH FACILITY BECAUSE THERE ARE UNIQUE RESOURCES AVAILABLE THERE. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O EACH EVENT HAS A SPECIFIC GOAL DESIGNED TO CULTIVATE IN OUR CLIENTS A DESIRE FOR MORE STABILITY, SOBRIETY, RECONNECTION WITH GOD AND A FAITH HOME. IN 2017, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING 304 (67% OF OUR TOTAL CLIENTS) TO INDOOR EVENTS, IN INCREASED FROM 2016 ENABLED BY OUR FACILITY. SYM WITNESSED FOR CHRIST 635 TIMES. WE HAVE DAYS IN OUR FACILITY THAT ARE COME AND GO AND WE HAVE DAYS THAT HAVE STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING LUNCH, ART GROUP, STUDIES AND GROUP GUIDANCE COUNSELING. WE HAVE SPECIAL EVENTS LIKE GAME NIGHT AND MOVIE NIGHT. OUTCOMES ARE VERY GOOD FOR YOUNG HOMELESS PEOPLE. THEY MOST OFTEN RECOVER (A FEW GO TO PRISON; A FEW DIE; A VERY FEW REMAIN HOMELESS)BY FINDING A PLACE IN ENTRY-LEVEL EDUCATION, GETTING A JOB, OR OBTAINING HOUSING. SYM'S REFERRAL SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO HELP CREATE A ONE-ON-ONE CONNECTION BETWEEN A CLIENT AND ANOTHER RESOURCE THAT CAN HELP ACHIEVE A GOAL. REFERRAL SERVICES INCLUDE A BUS PASS PROGRAM AND A COLLEGE TEXTBOOK PROGRAM, AS WELL AS BRIDGES THAT WE PROVIDE TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. IN 2017, SYM GUIDED AND ENCOURAGED CLIENTS TO MEET 733 PERSONAL GOALS (UP 13% FROM 647 IN 2016) IN OUR FOUR AREAS OF STABILITY, SOBRIETY, RECONNECTING WITH GOD AND FINDING A CHURCH HOME. THE FACT THAT THE GOALS WENT UP WHILE THE NUMBER OF UNIQUE CLIENTS WENT SLIGHTLY DOWN DEMONSTRATES THE IMPACT OF OUR NEW FACILITY AND PROGRAMMING MADE POSSIBLE BY IT. ALTHOUGH WE HAD FEWER CLIENTS, THE CLIENTS WE HAD WERE MORE MOTIVATED TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES.
