Unconnected youth are defined as young adults who are living without permanent family support and have any of the following lived experience: pregnant/parenting, homeless or near homeless, foster care, juvenile probation, runaway or human trafficking/exploitation or are unconnected from their family of origin for any reason. The HUB has focused on providing programming support and services in the areas of education, employment, and empowerment.

Education: The HUB provides programming at Lincoln High for students that are credit deficient, struggling with truancy. These supports and services are aimed to assist students with staying in school and successfully moving closer to the goal of graduation.

Employ: The HUB assists participants in developing job skills through connections to volunteer opportunities, access to resources for job searching and supports once employment has been secured.

Empower: Concrete supports are imperative to navigate the transition to adulthood. The HUB empowers participants to advocate for themselves, assists with learning supports and resources and provides additional caring adults in the lives of participants. The HUB assists young people to determine the supports and services available and ensure that a customized system of supports is assembled. Assistance available to young adults includes connection to a Peer Support Specialist, access to emergency needs-based funds, youth eviction prevention programming, connection to housing supports and resources, financial literacy and budgeting assistance through Central Access Navigation and Community Outreach Housing Specialist.
