Welcome to Springboard Youth Resource Center

Springboard Community Services’ Youth Resource Center (YRC) provides drop-in assistance to Baltimore’s youth and young adults, aged 14–24 years old. Many of the Youth Resource Center participants are experiencing chronic homelessness, poverty, abuse, neglect, or violence or are victims of trafficking.

These young people are striving for the stability of a home, safety from the streets, and support in obtaining crucial connections to services that will move their lives forward. As a drop-in center, the Youth Resource Center does not offer overnight accommodations.

The Youth Resource Center staff, in coordination with partner agencies, helps clients gain stability and address crisis situations. Participants are offered access to behavioral health care, case management, housing navigation, classes and workforce development. 

They are also offered access to essential items, including food, baby/toddler items, clothing, hygiene/toiletry items, and laundry/shower facilities.

The YRC is staffed by an interdisciplinary team including, but not limited to, YRC Manager, Peer Counselors, Housing Navigators, Case Managers, and Therapists.
