Oak Bridge Youth Shelter
read moreWe change the lives of 6,000 youth every year through our 40 programs in Oregon and Washington. When you provide youth opportunities to build successful futures, our entire community benefits. Help be part of their success. Community partners play a vital role in offering support for youth in Janus' programs. For Janus' Hope Partnership Program at Oregon Youth Authority's (OYA) MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility, community partnerships have made a huge difference in the lives of so many youth who have fallen through the cracks in their communities and schools.
About Us
read moreLaunched in 2001 with Moda Health, Scholarships For Success provides an avenue for youth in any Janus program to pursue higher education or enroll in a vocational or technical training program. Each scholarship is designed to meet the unique needs of the youth we serve - that could mean assistance with tuition, books, tools for an apprenticeship program, to child care expenses or bus tickets. Awarded yearly, scholarships have made it possible for youth to attend public and private universities and even medical school.
Washington State
read moreProfessional staff and highly trained community volunteers initiate over 2,900 face-to-face contacts with vulnerable youth on the streets each month building trust, providing information, referral and crisis intervention services. A day-time drop-in center for homeless youth, The Perch offers a dry, warm, safe place where youth have access to laundry facilities, computers, a phone, a meal and skilled staff to help them problem solve. The original program we opened in Southwest Washington and the first crisis intervention shelter of its kind in the Clark County area of Washington State, Oak Bridge serves both state-dependent and non-state involved youth ages 9 to 17 and their families.
Runaway Youth
read moreThe primary purpose of Harry's Mother is to ensure 24-hour availability of safety off the streets for any youth experiencing housing instability under age 18 in need of temporary shelter and/or family respite. The Harry's Mother program model is based on low-barrier, positive-youth development, harm reduction and trauma-informed services for youth and families. It is also a highly collaborative model with service linkages statewide to a large range of community partners who can provide aftercare services for youth and their families as well as with law enforcement and State child welfare.
Homeless Youth
read moreEvery night of the year highly trained Yellow Brick Road community volunteer teams and professional staff walk the streets of downtown Portland making over 2,000 contacts monthly with homeless youth, building trust, helping meet their immediate needs and linking youth with services to help them get off the streets. A one-day a week stationary outreach location provides youth with connection to basic services including shower and laundry facilities, telephone and internet connection and linkage to a host of additional supportive services.
Who We Are
read moreSince originating in 1972 as a Multnomah County demonstration project providing residential care for adolescents struggling with homelessness and drug abuse, Janus Youth Programs has provided a second chance for at-risk youth with few resources, and no place to turn for help. Today, we have grown to become one of the largest nonprofits in the Northwest operating more than 40 different programs that span Oregon and Washington. An organizational philosophy grounded in collaboration defines who we are and everything we do.
