One of the most important things to come from the work of Off the Streets is the valuable 'snapshot' we will be able to formulate of Stanislaus County. We intend to take away wonderful insight over time as we continually learn more and more about various aspects of the community, our issues, and the unique people who exist here.
A critical aspect of this journey we are on at Off the Streets is talking directly with people about their life experiences. People from all over - not just drug users and treatment professionals. So many others have so much to say. We are finding that folks just want the chance to talk for a minute (or write, or draw, or sing!). If you want to share it, we want to hear it (or see it)! We want to know your side - things you have felt, heard, or seen, people you know (names omitted), how you have been affected or have seen others affected. It could be insight from your job, or your neighborhood, within your family or from within yourself. Anything at all you have to offer and feel comfortable sharing is valuable to the Off the Streets team's complete understanding of the circumstances in Stanislaus County. We really do need you. Some of you may even be interested in speaking engagements or telling your story to young people - we can arrange that too - just let us know!
Send us an email for more information if you are interested in sharing with us! We would love the opportunity to learn from you. It is a key piece of the puzzle actually. Sure, we at Off the Streets are here to educate and promote awareness for others - but you have something real to offer us too and we value that chance to hear from you firsthand. The more we can all learn from each other the better. Don't you agree??
