Sprout Mobile Youth Outreach supports youth between the ages of 16-24 who have, and are, experienced housing instability, addictions, mental health and natural support breakdown. The program provides an outreach worker to any and all practical support services, many of our county and support services are unknown to youth in crisis. Sprout will make them aware of them and provide assistance and support to access. This includes low income housing, food bank, Income assistance, mental health and addictions programs, trauma support, and family/natural support mediation.
Mobile Youth Outreach is unique in that Sprouts office is the community. We will meet youth quite literally where they are at. Through the framework of PCRFY primary theories of practice Sprout will support youth through all aspects of a youths experience. We collaborate with a youths existing network and support them in expanding their network of professional support while integrating family/natural support. Sprout is driven by harm reduction and youth voice. Giving them the tools needed for their self determined growth.
