Street Roots

Street Roots creates income opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and poverty by producing a newspaper and other media that are catalysts for individual and social change.  The Street Roots Ambassador Program builds on the talents and expertise of people on the streets while diversifying opportunities at Street Roots. The Ambassador Program plans to lead trainings, workshops, and community conversations to strengthen how housed neighbors communicate with unhoused neighbors. Others do outreach support, conduct surveys in support of research projects, and work as mobile journalists.
