The StreetWorks Toolkit Training is designed for any professional who is working with youth at-risk of or experiencing homelessness and/or sexual exploitation, or who may encounter youth in their work.

In partnership with the State of Minnesota’s Safe Harbor Initiative, this training is designed to support youth workers across different communities and organizational settings. The classroom sessions will provide foundational principles that inform safe and effective work with clients experiencing or at-risk of homelessness and exploitation. This training is designed to be flexible to help professionals in a wide range of settings develop tools and strategies that meet the needs of youth in their contexts.

While the training was originally developed to train outreach workers in the Twin Cities specifically, the Toolkit training was adapted to train professionals from a variety of roles who do their work both in the Twin Cities and in communities across the state.

The training includes a Classroom 101, Practical Toolkit Experience, and Classroom 201 before a trainee can earn their certificate of completion.

This training is the second part of a comprehensive interactive training that consists of two sets of classroom sessions . If you have not completed the Classroom 101 sessions , you will not be able to participate in this training.
