FREE YBR TRAINING EVENT 6/8/14!

Yellow Brick Road provides free training events to the community every 4 months. These events are FREE and available to anyone over 18 who may wish to learn more about street outreach, volunteer opportunities with Janus Youth Programs and other topics related to youth homelessness, poverty, exploitation and social justice. This is a great opportunity to meet the current outreach volunteers, staff and program supervisor. It is also a great opportunity to learn more about homeless youth resources and street outreach in Washington and Oregon. Applications are always on hand for anyone who wishes to join the team, but there is absolutely no obligation.

Our next training will take place in downtown Portland on Sunday June 8, 2014 from 2pm until 5pm. This month we welcome you to join us and our guest speakers for an introduction to Trauma Informed Care - a recognized "best practice" in the field of human services. We will also have guests from Portland Police Department's central precinct discussing their reinvigorated attention to downtown sidewalks, livability issues and their engagement strategies for homeless folks and summer travelers. It promises to be a lively afternoon of discussion! Light lunch will be provided. We hope you will join us.
