Street Level Youth Care is made up of Christian Volunteers.  We see the problems of our street kids (homeless or otherwise) as a community issue.  Rather than relying on Government Hand-outs, we are raising our own support from Churches and through private sector involvement, including individual involvement.

We are working towards a local solution by providing food, shelter (as far as our resources permit), clothing, advice and friendship and by bringing the reality to the whole of the community.  SLYC exists to assist young people in need, providing food and other emergency services, general care and through promoting in them a sense of self-worth and guiding them in a positive direction.

Our policy is to be non-judgmental and non-discriminatory, working within personal relationships based on Trust and mutual Respect. To be effective in this ministry, we train and deploy volunteers to make contact with and assist young people in need, on the streets and in their related environments. We seek the integrated involvement of the whole community.
