Below are the YouthLine Programs for which youth are employed.

YouthLine Online: YouthLine designs and maintains the YouthLine website, CHALK website, and YFYI website. And we also monitor the YouthLine Forum and Database.YouthLine Online provides information on issues that concern youth everyday. We also provide information on resources for youth, such as, information on shelters, jobs, health clinics and much more.

YouthLine Phoneline: Listeners are the people who answer the YouthLine calls. They provide information, support, and crisis intervention. They answer calls from all over the country because YouthLine is a toll free number.

CHALK Outreach: Outreach is conducted in different neighborhoods, at after school programs, community based organizations and events to distribute information about youth services, condoms and community activities.

Street Elements of CHALK: Street Elements provides youth and their allies with information, support and resources through a print magazine called Street Elements. Street Elements gives youth an alternate way of expressing themselves; through writing, spoken word and visual art.

Information, Resource, & Support PDF Print E-mail

YouthLine programs are run by CHALK. Our main purpose is to reach out to youth and provide them with information, resources, and support.

YouthLine Phone Line is a confidential phone line that is open everyday (including holidays) from 12pm to 10 pm. The phones are answered by youth, between the ages of 14 to 18. This is what makes YouthLine so unique, youth to youth service, and its a free phone line run by youth, for youth.

The "Listeners", the youth who answer the phones, have received over 80 hours of training to support callers dealing with crisis or those who need information. Our "Listeners" are very diverse. They come from all over the city and from different backgrounds to help relate to callers and support them.

Our database is also updated with the most recent information and if you can't find a particular youth service, give us a call. Our phoneline number is 1.888.977.3399.
