Huckleberry Youth Programs Inc

We seek to empower young people to develop and maintain healthy relationships as well as promote their talents, ideas, leadership and health; to assist youth and their families in overcoming the obstacles they may encounter, which can include family concerns, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health challenges, teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, violence, social and economic inequities, and physical and sexual abuse; and to assist clients in navigating complex social welfare, educational and juvenile justice systems. Throughout its history, the programs and services of Huckleberry Youth Programs have been characterized by: * a commitment to community-based and collaborative services for at-risk youth; * attention to the urgency, complexity and ever-changing nature of the needs presented by at-risk youth; * recognition of the value and dignity of young people and belief in their capacity to become healthy, creative adults. Today, Huckleberry Youth Programs is a major community-based youth agency, providing critical and effective services to homeless, runaway and other at-risk youth in San Francisco and Marin counties through seven distinct, but interrelated programs: - Huckleberry House - Huckleberry's Wellness Academies - Huckleberry's Cole Street Clinic - Huckleberry Teen Health Program at Montecito Plaza - Community Assessment and Referral Center (CARC) - Lioness Girls Program - Counseling and Family Support Program Source: www.huckleberryyouth.org
