Paving a New Way
Get your tickets today for the film premiere of a new documentary, Paving a New Way, about three extraordinary young people who have experienced homelessness and how they overcame adversity.
What We Do
Since 1984, Larkin Street Youth Services has given more than 75,000 young people a safe place to rebuild their lives. We provide housing, education and employment training, and health and wellness supports to help these young people get off the street for good.
LEVEL UP and support young people experiencing homelessness today
Data has shown that sheltering at home has been the best defense for COVID-19. But, for 1,100 young people on the streets of San Francisco it’s impossible to shelter-in-place, keep physical distance, stock up on food, or even wash their hands without a home of their own.
How we're addressing COVID-19
For Young People
Do you need a safe place to sleep, a warm meal, or help with school or job resources? The team at Larkin Street is here for you and happy to answer questions.
What We Believe
We believe that every young person deserves the same things we want for ourselves and our children: a stable home, happiness, health and meaningful work.
That’s why we provide more than just a bed for young people experiencing homelessness. We offer comprehensive services, from emergency shelter to supportive housing, to healthcare, education and employment, that help young people build a foundation for lifelong well-being.
You Can Help
Our community is integral to our work to end youth homelessness. From volunteering, to sponsoring events, to donating, individuals and partner groups enable us to provide services at a higher level and to spend efficiently – a full 80% of funds we receive go directly toward our programs.
