We support those who are struggling through community outreach, harm reduction and workforce development programs.

• Street Outreach Program is an accessible, effective program targeted at navigating individuals experiencing homelessness through the McHenry County Homeless Response System. Warp Corps’ program is a boots‐on‐the‐ground approach to street outreach, meaning that Warp Corps team members often conduct their work in homeless encampments, at restaurants and coffee shops, community events, and wherever else our clients may find themselves.
• Youth Prevention Program utilizes what the organization has identified as “Reality‐Based Harm Reduction Strategies” in order to bolster mental wellness and curb detrimental outcomes (homelessness, suicide & substance abuse/overdose) that result from a lack of mental health support for youth demographics. Specifically, this program focuses on the areas of music, art & action sports/outdoor activities as a way to expose young people to positive alternative outlets.
