While it is true that as outreach workers we must intentionally expose ourselves to the more painful sides of life in an effort to improve the lives of vulnerable young people, street outreach is certainly not without its profound beauty and unique rewards. On that note we present these inspiring photos taken just last week of Yellow Brick Road on the streets of Portland, Oregon.
