Congratulations Julie Hessel!

Welcome

The Jackson Street Youth Shelter is a state licensed, 501(c) (3) private, non-profit agency that has provided services to hundreds of youth and their families since 2001.

Jackson Street Youth Shelter serves boys and girls ages 10-17 years who are experiencing crisis in their lives in Benton, Linn, and Lincoln counties. We have nine beds at the shelter and are open 24 hours, seven days a week throughout the year.

Jackson Street Youth Shelter is located at 555 NW Jackson Ave. in Corvallis, across from the law enforcement building.


We've Purchased!

We've succesfully completed our capital campaign to purchase the house where the shelter has been residing since 2001.  We offer a special thanks to

David Gore
Meyer Memorial Trust
City of Corvallis Community Block Grant
Bill and Nancy Swindells Family Trust
Rod Terry
And all of the generous donors that made this possible.  This campaign adds stability to the organization and will save the shelter $20,000 per year in rent.

Also, a big Thank You to Steven Black, who originally purchased the  house to be used as a shelter and has now sold it to JSYS.

Now we begin work on some long overdue upgrades to the house......Stay tuned.
