This week we talk to two women who spend a majority of their time on the streets. They aren’t homeless but spend their time helping youth who may be experiencing homelessness and young people who need help finding resources or maybe just need a friend.

These two women are Shaquita and Adrienne. They are outreach specialists on the Milwaukee Street Beat team through Pathfinders and the Walker’s Point Youth & Family Center. Our conversation ranges from how they got the job to what some misconceptions may be about who they are working with.

The Street Beat team has a regular schedule of outreach sites and roving times, with specific, long-standing and recognized sites in neighborhoods in the City of Milwaukee, where they provide intensive interventions as well as safe contacts for homeless and runaway youth.

Want to get involved? Follow Street Beat on Facebook and Twitter! Also, sign up to volunteer. Adrienne says so.
