Helping Youth 24/7/365

Jackson Street Youth Services offers youth a safe place to live and resources to work through crises and towards a brighter, more stable future. Founded to fill a gap in housing for homeless youth, we now serve youth throughout Linn and Benton Counties. We rely on donations and partnerships. Together, we will end youth homelessness.

Youth Rising Reflections

Youth Rising 2025 was a blast! Huge thanks to all of our sponsors, supporters, staff, and youth for making this a successful event. Check out the full photo gallery from Jodi B Herrling Photography here.

Ruth and Zeph told us about their experience with the Next Steps program at our 2025 Youth Rising fundraising event.

We also learned more about the Next Steps program in general! Big thanks to John Harris at Horsepower Productions, and to our youth and staff for helping us make these wonderful videos!

Learn more about Next Steps here.

We also gave the “Our Caring Community” Award to two organizations! Huge thanks to Assistance League Corvallis and Altrusa International of Albany. Both of these organizations have made a big impact on our programs through substantial, dependable, and high-quality in-kind donations.

We’re so grateful to be supported by these wonderful women! Developing these kinds of long-term partnerships is a core mission for us. If you’re interested in partnering with Jackson Street, please reach out to Development Director Hannah Miller at hannah.miller@jacksonstreet.org

“Jackson Street helped me when I was at my lowest and when I didn’t think I could get anywhere. They really gave me good tools and guidance to help move me forward. What has changed about my life now compared to a year ago has been the fact that I finally found a starting point on my road to success. I’m looking forward to keeping on learning new skills and being able to be independent on my own.” —Outreach Youth, age 18
