Welcome to University Street Ministry
Our Mission
University Street Ministry works with the
community and people of all faith traditions. We offer support
to meet basic needs, build strong relationships, and
ally with homeless youth as they meet their future off the streets.
USM at a Glance
University Street Ministry serves over
11,000 meals each year to more than
600 homeless youth at
Teen Feed.
We also help youth find housing and jobs
through Service Links
for Youth, the only outreach-based
support program in Seattle's University
District. In fact, last year 60 young people
left the street life behind; 22 youth
received substance abuse treatment, 129
worked on employment goals and 69 accessed
education with help from our Support
Coordinator. But the need is larger
than our small non-profit.
Won't you join the effort to help
these young people?
What do homeless youth say about USM?
“it’s easy to talk to the people that work here, they’re really
friendly and always have smiles when they come in and they look
out for you!”
“Because of Will and Ryan, I have achieved a GED, an ID and a Job. They
are pushing me to move forward “
“[Teen Feed] is a place you can go to take care of your-self. It’s safe
here.”
“[USM Staff] actually give you information and keep you on track”
“Without Eric, Will, and Ryan’s help, I would still be at square one.
With their help I will soon be off the streets. “

USM and
Teen Feed is excited to be
the beneficiary of this year's
Noise for the
Needy!
Stay tuned for more news on a great week of
shows in June!
