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.

Summer Water + Snacks Drive

Help our Outreach team provide nonperishable snacks and bottled water to youth across Linn and Benton Counties this summer!

“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
