Let’s Empower Young People Together

Face to Face has provided essential support for marginalized young people for over 50 years. In FY23, Face to Face served 3,239 youth ages 11-24 who face challenges such as housing instability, poverty, histories of trauma, lack of preventive health care, mental health concerns, human trafficking, and more. Youth accessing services at Face to Face are among those who are facing the most disparities and inequities on their journey into adulthood. 

 Face to Face's medical clinic provides a wide range of services, including physicals, medical care for illness and minor injury, pregnancy testing, birth control, emergency contraception, and STD/STI testing and treatment. We also have a prenatal care and pregnancy support program to support pregnant and parenting youth.  Our mental health services include outpatient, in-home, and walk-in mental health therapy for youth and their families. Our mental health services operate in a low-barrier, reduced-to-no-cost model. We directly fill a gap in services for historically underserved populations who face barriers to accessing traditional health systems, and are often under or uninsured. 

Face to Face's housing stability services include all of the services at our youth drop-in center, SafeZone, as well as street outreach and a transitional housing program. Our housing stability work is aimed at helping young people secure housing and about providing the support young people need to stay housed.

Our youth justice program provides case management, mentorship, supportive services, and conflict resolution for young people who are justice-involved. The program prevents youth from being incarcerated and helps them engage positively in their community and their own lives.

Our education and employment program provides paid internships, job-readiness training, education assistance, and wraparound support so that young people can pursue their education, employment, and career aspirations. When youth participate in paid internships they build skills, explore interests, and build wealth.
