Street outreach allows Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth employees and volunteers to interact with homeless youth and provide them with basic needs items necessary for survival. These items include toiletries, backpacks, weather appropriate clothing, food vouchers and snacks, water, and information and referral cards.
The objective of street outreach is to provide education, prevention services, and supplies to runaway, homeless, throwaway, and street youth who have been subjected to or are at risk of sexual exploitation or abuse.
