Street Outreach

The Street Team Outreach Program at Journey On seeks to fill a persistent need in Rapid City for community-initiated responses to public safety needs.

The model of community intervention on which the Street Outreach program is based has experienced considerable success in targeted neighborhoods of Newark, New Jersey and Los Angeles, California. The model is one of engagement — the act of meeting people where they are and building a relationship of trust and mutual respect with the goal of the individual accepting further services to achieve violence reduction, permanent shelter, and self-sufficiency.
