Outreach Worker
The goal of the Outreach team is to seek out those young people who are living on the streets. Travelling on foot, outreach workers are often the "face" of Covenant House and they take great care to connect with youth, always encouraging them to come to our Shelter or Drop-In program.

Nutritious Food
Thanks to our team of dedicated cooks our youth enjoy warm and health meals/snacks. At Covenant House, we believe that when youth don’t have to worry about when they are getting their next meal they can better focus on other issues.

Shared Kitchen In ROP
At the ROP shared Kitchen youth can practice their cooking skills. Many of the young people we serve are not ready to live independently; they lack the basic life skills most of us take for granted: budgeting, saving, cooking, cleaning, goal setting etc. ROP prepares youth to live as independent adults.
