Street Youth Ministries

Mission

SYM's mission is to provide youth in Seattle's University District with life-skills, resources and relationships that bring hope and healing to their lives and the community.

Description

Street Youth Ministries (SYM) is a non-profit, faith based organization serving homeless and at risk youth ages 13-26 in the Seattle area.

SYM is committed to:
BUILDING personal relationships. We learn youth names, their unique stories and care for them accordingly.
TEACHING young people how to do life. We give them opportunities to practice basic skills, enjoy adventures that expand their worldview, and walk with them as they grow and become independent.
AFFIRMING their sense of self-worth. We stick with them in spite of the roads they choose on their journeys. We grieve with them when they fail and delight in them when they succeed. We tell them often that they are worth a different life.
