Helping Youth 24/7/365

Jackson Street Youth Services offers youth a safe place to live and resources to work through crises and towards a brighter, more stable future. Founded to fill a gap in housing for homeless youth, we now serve youth throughout Linn and Benton Counties. We rely on donations and partnerships. Together, we will end youth homelessness.

Youth Holiday Wishlists Are Open for Adoption!

Adopt a youth wishlist!

We’re excited to be launching our Youth Holiday Wishlist program again this year. Youth who are active in our programs have a chance to request 3 items of $50 each. Community members “adopt” a list (or few!!!) and purchase one or more of the specific items, then wrap and deliver those to us by Monday, December 22nd.

Fill out the Google Form and you’ll get an email from us with further details about the youth you’ve adopted, their list, and the process to purchase, wrap, and deliver their gifts. Thank you for caring and shopping!

“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
