It’s Just One Story
“Hi, my name is Mia, I’m 18 years old, and I’ve been involved with Jackson Street for a little over a year now. I first got involved with Jackson Street because of a fight at school, which led me to juvie. I remember being so scared and anxious when they told me I was going to Jackson Street. Going in, I was angry that I had to be there. All I wanted was to go back home, but I’m so glad I didn’t. I didn’t know what to expect, but as soon as I walked in, I was met with nothing but kindness and patience, which was something I wasn’t familiar with.” – Mia

Our Community is Amazing! Thank You for Your Support!
“Jackson Street helped me when I was at my lowest and when I didn’t think I could get anywhere. They really gave me good tools and guidance to help move me forward. What has changed about my life now compared to a year ago has been the fact that I finally found a starting point on my road to success. I’m looking forward to keeping on learning new skills and being able to be independent on my own.” —Outreach Youth, age 18
