The Spectrum shelter helped me out so much. It led to so many other things. Spectrum worked with me to get a stable place to live. They helped me find a job. I got my GED. Without Spectrum, I don't know where I would be today. They saved my life and helped me open my eyes and realize how much was out there for me. -Denise, 19 year old

NEED HELP NOW?

Drop-In Center

Our Drop-In Center is a safe place for young people to eat a meal, use the telephone, do laundry, get clothing, or take a shower. Along with Street Outreach, this is how many youth are introduced to Spectrum and begin to access our services.

Drop-In is led by a Coordinator and staffed by Peer Outreach Workers (POWS!), and AmeriCorps service workers. Drop-In staff plan and facilitate services and activities for youth to improve their level of self-sufficiency.
 
These services may include like-skills groups, job training class, cooking and grocery shopping, drivers education, and other topics based on the needs of the youth. Peer Outreach Workers help run the Drop-In providing informal counseling, setting goals, and referring youth to other Spectrum services.
 
In 2009, more than 480 youth were helped and over 10,000 meals were served in Spectrum's Drop-In Center.
