Street Job is a six month long group work experience for 10 'street youth' between the ages of 16 and 24 who are unemployed and out of school. Meant as an alternative to pan-handling the Street Job participants work on a number of community development projects of benefit to others in the area, while gaining much needed first job experience. Street Job is now in its fourth incarnation.

“I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left.
