🎓✨ CAPTAIN is at Career Con at FMCC today!

We’re excited to spend the day connecting with students, talking about careers in human services, and showing them that this work is so much more than a job. It’s advocacy, problem solving, relationship building, community connection, and sometimes being the person who shows up when someone needs it most. 💙

We’ve got CAPTAIN Monoploy ready, and a team that is VERY prepared to convince the next generation that human services is where it’s at. 😂

If you’re at Career Con today, come find CAPTAIN Street Outreach and say hi! 👋

Engage with future talent, showcase your organization, and support workforce development in our region!

We’re excited to be hosting the 2nd annual Career Con on October 1! Local businesses should register early for their free booth at the event.

Organized by Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce and HFM BOCES Career & Technical Education, Career Con is a chance for about 2,000 8th and 9th grade students to explore a variety of career options!

You don’t have to be falling apart to need therapy.

You can go to work.
Take care of your kids.
Show up for your friends.
Keep up with the laundry.
Pay your bills.
Smile at church.
Be the person everyone counts on.

And still be struggling.

Sometimes being “high functioning” just means you’ve gotten really good at carrying a lot while nobody realizes how heavy it feels.

You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to ask for support.

Therapy can be a place to slow down, process what you’ve been carrying, and take care of the parts of you that often get pushed to the side.

You’re allowed to get help even when you’re still holding everything together.

If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. 🤍

📺🪵 WE HAVE A WISH FOR OUR DROP-IN CENTER! 💙

CAPTAIN Street Outreach is looking for a TV stand, TV shelf, or small entertainment center for our Youth Drop-In space!

We have a TV we'd like to set up for our youth, but we need something safe and sturdy to place it on. We’re hoping someone in our community may have one they’re no longer using and would be willing to donate it. ❤️

It doesn't need to be fancy—clean, sturdy, and in good condition is perfect!

Our Drop-In Center is a youth-driven space for young people ages 13–24 to grab a meal, access resources and basic necessities, participate in activities, relax, and spend time in a safe and welcoming environment.

📍 CAPTAIN Street Outreach
11 First Ave, Gloversville, NY
📞 518-391-9457

If you have a TV stand or shelf you'd like to donate, please send us a Facebook message or give us a call so we can coordinate drop-off.

A simple donation can help us turn our space into a place our youth truly enjoy spending time in. 🫶

Thank you, as always, for helping us build a stronger community for our youth! 💙
