outreach services 

 180 Degrees Outreach Services are designed to prevent and disrupt youth homeless.  
All of 180 Degrees youth shelters (Brittany's Place, Hope House, St. Cloud Youth Shelter, VonWald Youth Shelter) have an onsite Outreach worker who works directly with youth in the community.  
Services include providing:

• necessities like food, hygiene products, backpacks, clothing
• emotional support, connection, and advocacy
• referrals to resources like shelter, food shelves, mental health services, and more 

​​Outreach workers also build connections with youth-serving agencies in the community, strengtheniing the collective response to preventing, ending, and disrupting youth homelessness and youth sex trafficking. 

"We have limited capacity in our emergency shelters. Outreach services help bridge that gap. Services support youth who are not in shelter but benefit from caring, structured support "
-- Dan Pfarr, Chief Executive Officer
