• Detailed Information

  • YEAH! assists homeless young people in these ways:

    Provides relief from the stress of living on the street

    Creates a community of friendship and mutual support

    Encourages the identification of personal goals and the exploration of alternatives to street life

    Youth in the program are served a hot dinner and breakfast in the morning. They sleep on mats with fresh sheets. Clean socks and underwear are provided when available. They have access to a shower nightly.

    With our help, some of the youth have been reunited with family, or moved into permanent housing. In addition, we provide medical referrals and on-site therapy. We also work closely with Berkeley Mental Health, Lifelong Medical Clinic, the Homeless Action Center, Suitcase Clinic and other local agencies.

    Through our Clinical Day Program, YEAH! provides intensive case management and counseling to a select group. Participants meet regularly with a trained clinician. Together they set goals and chart a path to their preferred lives. Youth are helped to find employment, to secure permanent, affordable housing, to return to (or stay in) school, and to learn to utilize community resources.
