About Us

Mission Statement
Our Streets seeks to provide a voice and strength to our community in a way that addresses the ever-changing dynamic of our society. The fluidity of our approach allows us to address numerous aspects of the community such as environmental injustice, houselessness, food insecurity, civilian oppression and youth engagement in a way that is unique to our goal of creating a well-rounded populace.
