We had lunch, art group, Bible study, Peer Support Group and Movie Night.Served about 25 people.Lots of good discussion during lunch.Had someone visit who was a client about 8 years ago, now doing great!Collages and continued discussion for art group.Prayer time seemed to focus on several who are recently unincarcerated, their gratitude and desires for their life.Peer Support Group centered around staying sober.Movie Night featured endless grilled cheese sandwiches and a riveting movie.We celebrated many with jobs, one accepted into college, 3 return visitors from years ago, 1 new client, and more.We had a 15 year old drop by $100 donation from himself and his friends.We had a recovered client drop by food to share.We had one person stop by for a tour after seeing our invitation on the sidewalk.Great volunteers. Great staff. Great day.But not unusual at all!
Street Youth Ministry of Austin exists to know, love and serve street-dependent youth. The first step of our mission is to notice street youth. Then we must understand their culture to know how to love and serve them. SYM spends time every day with more than 100 young adults. We provide basic services, counseling, referral to services, and Christian guidance counseling. It it a privilege to know these young people.
