Who We Are
Railroad Street Youth Project aims to foster a community that embraces its young people and supports them as they grow. We serve 14-25 year old residents of South Berkshire county and the surrounding area with mentoring and apprenticeship programs, an all-youth board that funds innovative, youth-inspired projects and trips, teen pregnancy prevention initiatives, and a drop-in center where we offer referrals for housing, employment, and education, counseling, mediation and advocacy.
Railroad Street Youth Project was created in 1999 by a 19-year old woman.
The YOB is comprised of young people who review and approve youth-inspired project proposals on a weekly basis and steer the direction of all RSYP programs.
