PoCoMo Youth Services is a non-profit charity formed in 1992. PoCoMo provides the first mobile youth outreach service to youth who are street involved offering support and services. The program is Project Reach Out, meeting youth where they are on their turf. Project Reach Out changes the way we engage youth and brings the philosophy of social responsibility and community contribution to the model of engagement. Through youth engagement we impact the reduction of crime, vandalism, drug use, and increase connection to community, a sense of belonging, purpose, value that influence positive choices.
