StreetWorks Outreach
As StreetWorks partners with public health officials and the rest of the community to limit the spread of COVID-19, our priorities are to keep our team members and the people we serve safe while we continue to provide essential community services. Each StreetWorks Agency is following the recommendations of the CDC and the Minnesota Department of Health to slow the spread of this virus.
For the most up-to-date information about Outreach Worker (OW) schedules and other available services for youth, please visit YSNMN.org

Ways you can help:
Make an in-kind donation: StreetWorks is especially in need of travel-sized hand sanitizer, protective masks for Outreach Workers and the youth we serve, disposable non-latex gloves, diapers (all sizes), and baby wipes. If you would like to make a donation, please email Street.Works@lssmn.org
Offer free child care to someone you know who is working in one of the essential service industries
Send messages of support to StreetWorks OWs, staff at your local hospital, those working at grocery stores, etc.
Be kind if/when you are out and about in the community and encounter someone at work. Smile and thank them for their contributions
Advocate for radically inclusive, intersectional, anti-racist policies and services during this time and in the future.
