I was homeless in 2018, hardest time of my life. As a young woman with no resources , the staff here provided socks, food, place to apply for jobs and a room to play guitar and piano in. This is an excellent program for struggling people under 24.

Don't go there if you are married. I'm 19 and married and we were struggling on food so we went there for dinner and I got in trouble for sitting too close to MY HUSBAND also they only enforce masks entering and leaving the building. It's only for appearances for their sponsers

This facility is not meant for homeless the boss named Kathy is rude and unable to be worked with you try to talk to her and she gets up in your face saying it's not her problem and says "what do you expect me to do about it" this place used to be great for the at risk youth now you barely see any youth in the building because of the way that they are treated it almost feels like facility more than a place of help..... Maybe if they figure out different Management things will work out but till then I am bringing donations or referring anyone to this building

Literally the worst place ever for homeless youth in Springfield. I went here a lot and every time the boss person Kathy I think was really rude. She yelled at one kid in front of everyone and chased him out the door screaming and cursing. Every time I go she’s screaming at the other people. I tried to get help to get in housing and she said “that’s not my job. I’m not a case manager.” Which is fine, but there’s other ways to tel me than than sounding very annoyed that I had the audacity to talk to her and ask for help. I’m never going back here again because of her.

When I was younger Rare Breed opened their doors and offered help for me in any way they could give it to me. They even allowed me to shower! They're AWESOME!

I myself had gone to this place 4 help wen I 1st moved here back in 1998. I was 17 & pregnate as well as a long way from home. They were a huge help back then & had teamed up with Galagxy (GLO) youth group & helped me with maternity clothes, diapers, formula, & directed me to a bunch of young mother resources I'd never even thought would exist. I'm so glad they r still around & finally got a bigger space. I would suggest this wonderful place to any youth that's having any issues in life to just go & check em out cuz they r God sent wonderful people. Much love & blessed be.

I love the things that RBYOC provides to these youth. I have had the privilege to provide the evening meal numerous times. I am blessed by these kids each time!

I am just getting ready to do some volunteer work here, however, I didn't even know RareBreed existed and I thank God for the work they are doing and the opportunity they provide for our young people and for people like myself to be of service.
