Drop-In Center

       RSYP's drop-in center is open 3pm-7pm every afternoon as a place where youth meet, develop ideas, make artwork, find a staff person to talk to, and just hang out.  Visit us at our location in the Schneider Youth Building, located at 60 Bridge Street in Great Barrington, MA. 


Youth Advocacy

        We help young people between the ages of 14 and 25 in anything they need: finding a job or a place to live; solving problems with parents or friends through mediation; going to court or finding a lawyer; or completing community service. If you have a problem you can't solve on your own, give us a call.

Youth Inspired Projects

        Young people can fill out a proposal form with any idea they have, whether it's a play, a class, or a basketball team, and we'll help them make it happen.  We work with youth to find funding, space, and assistance for their projects. The key to Railroad Street is that the inspiration comes from young people.  This ensures that our programs are relevant to the people we serve.

Regular Programs

        We run several regular programs for young people. Please browse our site for details about our current programs.

Small Business Incubator

        When a Youth-Inspired Project reaches the point where it's ready to break off on its own, RSYP will help its leaders take the Berkshire Enterprises Business Entrepreneurial Training Program and assist in developing the business and raising money.
