Yellow Brick Road is a volunteer-based street outreach program established in 1984 in Portland, Oregon. We are just one component of Janus Youth Programs, a widely-acclaimed social service agency established in 1972. Yellow Brick Road outreach teams are on the streets of Portland, Oregon EVERY NIGHT of the year between the hours of 6pm-9pm! We have lots of information about local shelters, drug & alcohol treatment programs, alternative schools, GED assistance, emergency medical resources, and more. We also provide basic first-aid & hygiene supplies to ANYONE in need (such as socks, triple-antibiotic, tooth paste & tooth brushes, and lots more)! Yellow Brick Road is a non-political, non-religious, non-judgemental organization that provides immediate eye-to-eye advocacy & community resources to Portland, Oregon's diverse street dependent population. Yellow Brick Road is a volunteer experience that changes lives!

Yellow Brick Road has created this profile in an effort to better serve young people (and youth-identified adults) in and around the Portland, Oregon area. We recognize that the internet is the new streets and we want to be available to young people who may benefit from our services wherever you hang out. Are you struggling with drugs or alcohol? Have you dropped out of school and feel that you have no alternatives? Are you couch-surfing with friends or living outdoors and confused about how to turn your life around? Are you in an abusive relationship? Yellow Brick Road may be able to help! Drop us a line, we would love to hear from you! But please remember these guidelines to keep yourself anonymous & safe: PLEASE REMEMBER THAT MYSPACE AND THE INTERNET IS AVAILABLE TO JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD (including people that may want to harm or exploit you)! WE WANT YOU TO BE SAFE! NEVER DISCLOSE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE (such as your real name, age, address, school, etc). NO YELLOW BRICK ROAD OUTREACH WORKER WILL EVER ASK FOR YOUR NAME OR ANY OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET!
