Street Youth Ministry’s mission is to know, serve, and love street dependent youth that have “aged out” of the foster care system. Since receiving a seed grant from Glimmer in 2018, SYM has worked to invest in their staff and clients, meaning they can better form relationships based on the terms of their clients’ needs.
This year, SYM is in the second phase of a three-year HUD program to get all youth off the street with limited time supported housing. SYM has changed countless lives from providing rehabilitation advice and support, to feeding hungry youth, to acting as a reliable friend to those lacking uplifting relationships.
In light of these outstanding achievements, Founder and Executive Director Terry Cole had some words of gratitude for Glimmer. “Thank you, Philip and Donna. Thank you Berber family. And thank you Glimmer family. What we do together matters more than we’ll ever know.”
We are proud to partner with organizations like Street Youth Ministry and see the impact they are making on the Greater Austin Community. And we could not agree with Mr. Cole more—what we do together matters.
