Our Mission: Empowering Youth. Ending the Cycle of Youth Homelessness.
At StandUp for Kids Oceanside, we are dedicated to ending the cycle of youth homelessness. Our mission is to empower homeless and at-risk youth toward lifelong personal growth and self-sufficiency.
What We Do
Outreach and Support Services: We provide immediate support to homeless and at-risk youth through street outreach, offering food, clothing, and hygiene products. Our dedicated volunteers engage with youth directly, building trust and guiding them toward our comprehensive services.
Outreach Centers: Our outreach centers are safe havens where youth can access essential resources such as hot meals, showers, laundry facilities, and internet access. We also offer educational support, job training, and life skills workshops to help them build a brighter future.
Mentorship Programs: Through our mentorship programs, we connect youth with caring adults who provide guidance, emotional support, and positive role models. These relationships are crucial in helping youth build confidence and make informed decisions about their lives.
Housing Assistance: We work tirelessly to find safe and stable housing for homeless youth. Our team collaborates with local shelters, transitional housing programs, and landlords to secure accommodation, ensuring a safe environment for our youth to thrive.
Why It’s Important
Youth homelessness is a pressing issue in our community. Every night, countless young people face the harsh realities of living on the streets, exposed to dangers and lacking basic necessities. These youth are often victims of trauma, abuse, or neglect, and without intervention, they are at risk of falling into a cycle of poverty and hopelessness.
By providing essential support and resources, StandUp for Kids Oceanside helps youth break free from the grip of homelessness. Our programs offer stability, hope, and the tools needed to build a brighter future, ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
