Face to Face Health & Counseling Service, Inc.

Chelsea, age 17, after being kicked out by her family for becoming pregnant, resorted to sex work to take care of her baby.

Vanessa, age 18, came from an abusive family and was dropped at an adult shelter shortly after her 18th birthday.

Michael spent most of his life in foster care or group homes. At the age of 18 he had nowhere to go—sometimes he rode a bus all night to stay warm.

Each year, more than 3,300 youth ages 11-23 come to Face to Face looking for a safe place to make changes for the better.
