Youth in Need St Charles

Youth in Need St. Charles Clinic was started in 2009, and was made in partnership between IFM Community Medicine and the Youth in Need residential program operating on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. Youth in Need offers a transitional living program for those between sixteen and twenty-one that provides the basic needs of housing, food, safety, and financial security by helping teens save money for their future while they develop and learn the basic life skills necessary to be independent and lead productive lives. These homeless and runaway teens escaping abusive or unhealthy home lives need physicals to stay in emergency shelters and transitional living facilities. IFM coordinates these physicals, and ensures acute healthcare needs, as well as required screenings, are addressed. IFM is helping Youth in Need give teens an opportunity to get off the street and on the right track.
