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, Benton, and Lincoln Counties. We rely on donations and partnerships. Together, we will end youth homelessness.

Big News from Our Board of Directors!

The Board of Jackson Street Youth Services is pleased to announce that Kendra Sue Phillips has accepted the position of Executive Director effective August 1st, 2023.
As our current Program Director, Kendra brings a wealth of operational knowledge and we are confident she is the right candidate for the promotion.
It is with mixed emotions we announce Ann Craig’s last official day will be July 31st, 2023. However, we are pleased Ann will continue to provide consultative services to Kendra and the board to ensure a smooth transition.
Ann provided 19 years of exceptional service and stewardship to Jackson Street. We are so grateful to her and wish her all the best moving forward.
In closing, please join the board in congratulating Kendra and providing us grace as we navigate through the transition. And, as always, reach out if you have any questions.

“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
