Street Outreach: Love, Service & Leadership with the foreword written by His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama
The daily and nightly offices of Street Outreach Workers are inside drug houses, abandoned buildings, under bridges, and within domestic violence and emergency shelters.
Street Outreach Workers don't just go to places most people try to avoid, meeting our most marginalized and traumatized youth and young adults where they're at, giving them food, water, blankets, first aid kits and hygiene products. Street Outreach Workers build trust with those who have every reason not to trust anyone. Street Outreach Workers facilitate healing and powerful transformation in uncontrolled and sometimes volatile situations.
There have been many books written about leadership, transformation and inspiration, but few books take the reader on a journey inside of true life-or-death situations, demonstrating how our deepest needs, if frozen by trauma, can be thawed with the light of love, service and leadership.

"This book is a riveting account of the reality of human trafficking, homelessness, hunger, domestic violence and other forms of neglect that push youth out of mainstream society and into the margins of despair and cold survival.

He was the right person to write this moving memoir of hope...and thankfully he did."

"The gut-wrenching reality of youth who have been harmed, sexually, physically and emotionally abused, exploited and neglected has been, for far too long, missing from the academic dialogue. Soulless, quantitative facts have little impact on the kind of intentional, heart opening effort necessary to carry out the selfless work of street outreach. This book offers unique insight into the daily experiences of the Street Outreach Worker in an acce...
