youth outreach
Helping young people
Youth outreach refers to organized efforts to engage young people, especially those who are marginalized, at-risk, or disconnected from traditional institutions.
It typically involves going to where young people are rather than waiting for them to seek services: The church runs a youth outreach program in local schools.
Youth outreach workers might address issues like homelessness, substance abuse, gang involvement, or simply provide mentorship and resources to underserved communities.
