How do youth find out about Covenant House Washington?
Our best referral to our programs and services has been word of mouth. Youth previously and currently served by CHW often tell their friends and relatives about the positive difference Covenant House has made in their lives and that the agency can help them too. Relationships and partnerships with local businesses, community organizations, and other like-agencies are also sources of referrals to our programs. Members of our Mobile Outreach Support Team (MOST) are often the first line of communication with young people on the street. Known as the God Squad, MOST members travel through the roughest neighborhoods, scouring the toughest streets to let youth know that CHW truly cares about them. Youth in emergency situations can call our Youth Hotline commonly known as the NineLine: 1-800-999-9999. A caring counselor will answer the phone and connect youth in trouble to the nearest Covenant House. No youth in crisis is ever turned away.
