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 28 young people left the street life behind; 76 met goals around basic needs, 68 found employment and 34 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?

“Teen Feed literally saved my life when I was homeless. I hadn’t eaten for four days, and I didn’t know where to get any food. I stumbled into the YMCA and asked if they had any and they gave me directions to Teen Feed. When I got there, I met [a USM support coordinator], and she told me about shelter, and other programs in the U-District.”

“[My support coordinator] has helped me get my Washington State I.D. and she has helped me with housing and work.”

“Teen Feed provides a warm place to eat food because I don’t have food.”

“[My support coordinator] helped me write a resume, so I could apply for jobs.”

“I get to meet new people at Teen Feed who encourage and uplift homeless youth.”
