The staff and volunteers at Straight Street minister to the total individual:
PHYSICALLY
By providing opportunities for entertainment, exercise, and service.
EMOTIONALLY
By offering a safe place to meet and develop healthy relationships, and find help for unhealthy ones.
INTELLECTUALLY
By assisting youth with supplemental educational resources, and encouraging them to take full advantage of educational and employment opportunities.
SPIRITUALLY
By demonstrating Godly principles for living fulfilled lives, and by leading youth to meet and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and friend.
* For our purposes at Straight Street, an “at-risk” youth is a young person who is behaving in such a way that if a caring adult or peer does not step into their life with help, they stand a good chance of hurting themselves or others.
