The Synergy Project Mission
Established under the umbrella of the successful youth-focused non-profit organization Valley Youth House, The Synergy project is a street outreach program that works actively to provide aid and support to at-risk, runaway, unaccompanied youth that are experiencing homelessness or unstable housing. Our team offers survival supplies (food, clothes, hygienic products, sleeping bags, tents, tarps, etc.), peer support, informal counseling (individual, family, or group), information and referral services and assistance to get off the streets (if desired) to youth 21 and under.
Our mission is a mobile one, with our Street Outreach team spending most of their time on the move. Youโll find us in a Jeep or van, on a mountain bike, paddling in canoe or kayak, and on foot, walking or hiking in remote areas or on city streets, reaching out to youth who tend to settle in places that are not easily accessible, assisting them to find permanent housing or making it safer for them to be on the streets. The mission of the program is to meet the youth where they are โ or to go to them. Street outreach coordinators visit freight train yards, transportation stations, tent-cities and homeless camps offering assistance to the many youth who refuse to go to shelters.
