Spectrum One Stop (SOS), conveniently located on Pearl Street in Burlington, is an emergency youth shelter, drop-in center, and multi-service center, which offers youth ages 14-21 a comprehensive continuum of services, including education, employment, substance abuse and mental health counseling, and much more.

All youth residents are supported by the services at SOS. Spectrum staff works as a team with each youth to support them in stabilizing their life and building the necessary skills to live independently. They divide these skills into five core youth development areas: career development, health (including physical & mental health/substance abuse), education, life skills, and recreational fun/free time. In each core area, the youth resident develops a set of goals with staff that they would like to achieve.
