WHO WE ARE
Since 1984, Larkin
Street Youth Services has been committed to helping San Francisco’s
most vulnerable youth ages 12-24 move beyond street life. This commitment
has fueled the development of a comprehensive continuum of services
that is nationally recognized as a model of innovative and effective
care. We offer stability, safety, and the opportunity for a better
life.
Larkin Street’s
continuum provides a range of housing options—from immediate
emergency shelter to permanent supportive housing—in addition
to essential wraparound services that offer kids the resources and
skills they need to exit street life. Supportive services include
education, technology and employment training; healthcare, including
mental health, substance abuse, and HIV services; and case management.
Our success rate
in helping kids get off the street for good testifies to a simple
truth: Given safety, shelter, compassion, guidance, and enough positive
options, kids can find their own solutions. We believe all youth deserve
the chance to reach their full potential and contribute their best
to the world.
