Streets Team Enterprises

The mission of Streets Team Enterprise (STE) is to help individuals attain permanent employment by providing training and a transitional paying job. Participation in STE is temporary by design because the end goal is for participants to use STE as a stepping stone to self-sufficiency by eventually securing lasting employment in the workforce at large.

Crucially, all participants in STE projects benefit from the supportive wraparound services that DST offers Team Members in the Streets Team Volunteers Program. Entering or reentering the workforce can be a challenge for our clients—many of whom have been out of the workforce for years at a time as part of their experience of homelessness or incarceration. With a DST safety net and a supportive community of peers, members of STE are free to fail knowing that sometimes success only arrives after a second, third, or fourth attempt.
