CAPTAIN Community Human Services

For over 30 years, CAPTAIN has been providing programs which address the core issues facing our society including: homelessness, poverty, youth violence, underage drinking, drug use, academic failure and family dysfunction. CAPTAIN approaches these issues with specific programs and services including: Elementary and Adolescent Help-Lines (Teen Talk and Phone Friend); Youth Street Outreach; Runaway and Homeless Emergency Youth Shelter; Youth Development Programs (CAPteens); Community Outreach Afterschool Center for Youth (Cheryl's Lodge); Family Development; Emergency Family Assistance for rent and utilities; Emergency Food Pantry; and Community Education. The ongoing success of these programs is due, largely in part, to an unusually strong and dedicated CAPTAIN Volunteer Corps.
