Street Outreach to Westchester Teens

CV’s Street Outreach Program started in 1998 as a way to reach the thousands of alienated youth who spend all or most of their nights on the streets of the county’s poorest urban centers.  These kids, who are often victimized and sexually exploited, do not typically seek help and thus are missed by most programs designed to help youth. Street Outreach counselors work the front lines in their efforts to target the county’s large population of runaway and homeless youth to move them off the streets and point them in a more positive direction.  Program staff makes contact with 5,000 street-involved youth each year, connecting them to the network of related services operated by CV’s Westchester Youth Services.
