Dans La Rue

Mission: Founded by Father Emmett Johns ("Pops") in 1988, Le Bon Dieu dans la rue helps homeless and at-risk youth. With dedication, empathy and respect, and with the support of the community, Dans la rue cares for their immediate needs and helps them acquire the skills and resources needed to lead more autonomous and rewarding lives. Over the past 28 years, Dans la rue has developed a multi-faceted approach to respond to the varied needs of street youth. We support over youth each year, offering them diverse programs and quality services to facilitate their transition off the streets including: emergency shelter, housing, food, education opportunities, psychological and physical care, employment programs, legal services, and self-discovery through the arts.
