Youth-Based Outreach
About Youth-Based Outreach
A considerable amount of the Outreach team’s time and resources are dedicated to its partnerships with youth-based entities. This year, the team partnered with the H.A.Y. Center to host a back-to-school supply fair for over 100 high school students in foster care.
Youth-Based Outreach Partnerships
The Covenant House
HCC has worked continuously with the youth on various core services. The Covenant House tremendously values their in-house training programs, which include healthcare, educational support, GED preparation, job readiness and skills training, drug abuse treatment and prevention, legal services, mental health services, the Mother/Child program, life skills training, and aftercare.
HAY Center
HCC has continuously worked very closely with the administration at the HAY Center to advance education for the youth. They have demonstrated efforts in empowering foster youth and alumni to become successful, productive adults.
Homeless Youth Network/CPS
HCC is a member of the Homeless Youth Network, which serves all homeless, runaway and street-involved youth and young adults aged 16-24 years, as well as those similarly at-risk. The Homeless Youth Network ensures that all youth will have on demand access to a continuum of housing and support services.
