Services

We offer on-site work opportunities both in our social enterprise, Thousand Hills Café, and in workshops where our clients create products for sale. We actively seek and advocate for appropriate job placements in the community and assist with resumes and building interviewing skills.

We provide a welcoming 800 square foot drop-in center in downtown Lynn adjacent to a Central Square Station – a transportation hub. Here we evaluate individual situations and provide a space for the youth to get off the street, get out of chaotic environments, and relax.

All participants are actively encouraged to obtain a high school level education and learn how to communicate in English. Volunteers and staff help with homework, test preparation, and ESL coursework.

Young adults are coached to develop appropriate social skills via workshops and other program activities. Hobbies, volunteer positions, church, and community events are encouraged to help develop the supportive community these young people need.

We help youth develop a viable list of temporary housing options and we facilitate contact. If there are no viable short-term options, we place them in emergency shelters, host homes or help with room rentals.

Once a client has reached a certain level of stability and independence, we work to launch them onto the career paths or educational tracks that will lead them to long-term success.
