Friday! 5am-10pm, at every Albany Dutch Bros location, $1 from every drink sold will be donated to Jackson Street Youth Services 💚

We've been operating in Linn County since 2012, and in that time we've expanded our services to meet the immense need of homeless and at-risk youth in this region. There's so much work to be done! Our Outreach team distributes around 4,000 pounds of food monthly through our Youth Service Center alone, not including youth in our 24/7 shelters and our Next Steps transitional housing program.

We're grateful to serve youth from all walks of life, from Sweet Home to Alsea, Harrisburg to Millersburg, and we're grateful to receive support from churches, city government, service clubs, businesses, and individuals that represent the multifaceted tapestry of the Mid-Willamette Valley. We'll be serving up drinks and cheesing for the camera throughout the day on Friday, so come say hello 💚

Jackson Street Bistro! We're so excited to invite all of you to another exciting event 💚
This year we're serving farm-to-table Indian Cuisine with Riverland Family Farms vegetables and Totum Farms chicken. Our menu has been designed in collaboration with our volunteer chefs, Youth Ambassadors, and local farmers. We'll be serving Butter Chicken, Aloo Saag, a Winter Squash curry, Naan bread from scratch, iced chai, and a variety of tasty sweets.

Come dine with us, 11am-6pm on September 26-27 at the First Christian Church Fall Craft Fair (right next to the Corvallis Fall Festival). We'll be in the basement of the church slinging up delicious cuisine, iced chai, and providing tasteful ambience with a variety of musicians from around the community. Interested in getting involved? Contact Ben at [email protected] we are still looking for rad musicians and DJs to fill the air with dulcet tones (we have a bunch of great artists signed up, but 10 hours is a long time!)

See you there!

Letter from the Executive Director:

Dear Friends and Partners,

This year, we celebrate 25 years of Jackson Street Youth Services—and more importantly, 25 years of a community choosing to show up for youth.

Looking back, what stands out isn't just how much our organization has grown. It's how many people have been part of that growth. Beginning with our founders, every staff member, volunteer, partner, and donor has gathered around a simple but powerful idea: that young people in our community deserve a safe place to go.

For a quarter of a century, our community has continued to believe that youth experiencing homelessness matter. Because of that shared commitment, we’ve built a continuum of care that meets young people where they are, offering safety, stability, and hope at every step along the way. Thousands of young people have found shelter, housing, education, supportive relationships, and the opportunity to imagine a different future.

Quite honestly, Jackson Street is not a building, a program model, or even a 25-year legacy. It is all of us.

The work of Jackson Street is about reaching out, showing up, and staying even when it’s hard. It’s rarely quick, easy, or linear. But it’s real. Every youth story we are privileged to tell reflects this commitment and reminds us what becomes possible when a community chooses to keep showing up for youth, year after year.

As you read this year's Impact Report, I hope you'll see your own role in these stories. Whether you've volunteered, advocated, partnered, or given financially, thank you for helping make the past 25 years possible. May we carry forward our unwavering belief in young people as we celebrate this milestone—and continue celebrating youth together for the next 25 years.

Hugely grateful to ANDERSEN CONSTRUCTION Andersen Const. Foundation for donating hundreds of snack kits for our Outreach Team yesterday!!! And humongously appreciative of East Albany Lions for once again supporting us with a generous $2000 check donation!

Did you know that 20% of our budget comes from community contributions? That's an incredible number for an organization of our size, and we are genuinely humbled by the support of the community. Thank you to everyone who has made Jackson Street a priority, saying YES to youth and committing to creating a network of support that our staff and services can rely on.

We will have a big post about it later today,
but it's our 25th birthday today 🎂 and it's pretty breathtaking to comprehend the amount of staff hours, donor hours, volunteer hours, and youth hours that have been poured into building us up to the place that we are at today. Thank you everyone!

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Huge gratitude to La Raza Growing Juntos for once again gracing our window with a beautiful handmade display. Here's a note from Catalina Contreras about the project, this wonderful group, and the generous donation they gave to us as well:

"About two weeks ago, the La Raza Teens went on a shopping trip together to purchase water bottles, headphones, backpacks, and school supplies to donate to Jackson Street. Altogether, they spent a little over $500, made possible through the generosity of the teens and funding we received through the Latino Partnership Program grant.

What makes this especially meaningful to me is that the teens willingly chose to support Jackson Street again. After contributing to Jackson Street last year, they wanted to find another way to give back this year. They have a genuine sense of compassion for adolescents in our community, particularly Latine youth who may be experiencing difficult circumstances, and the fact that they chose Jackson Street again speaks to how meaningful this connection has become to them.

I would love for the teens’ act of giving to be recognized as well—not necessarily for the recognition itself, but because I think it is important for our community to see young people leading with generosity, empathy, and community care."

We're so honored to be the recipients of Albany Dutch Bros annual Buck for Kids fundraiser, on Friday, 9/18! One dollar from every drink sold will go to Jackson Street, all day long, from 5am-10pm, at all 3 Albany Dutch locations. We will be on-site throughout the day chatting with customers, serving up drinks, and maybe even pulling some espresso shots 😬 to support this amazing community fundraiser! Big thanks to the staff at Albany Dutch Bros for selecting us this year, and big congrats to the Greater Santiam Boys and Girls Club for being the Lebanon/Sweet Home beneficiaries, and to Horses of Hope for being the Salem beneficiaries on the same date. See you there!
