My 20 year old son got in trouble and has been in jail for 8 months near Sacremento, CA. He is suppose to get out tomarrow and he plans to take a bus to Lake Tahoe to get a winter job at the slopes. They have housing if and when he can get a job there. We live in Nebraska and all my family in California will not help because we are no longer JWs. Does anybody know of a group or organization that helps young adults there? He has no car, no home, no phone, very few clothes and only a little money that we wired to him. (If he can get his I.D. when he gets out)

Hi ontarget,
Sorry to hear about your son, but glad he's getting out.
I just "Googled" using these words:
sacramento youth services
First hit was this:
I don't know ANYTHING about them, but given the circumstances you describe, I would at least give them a call if I were in your son's shoes.
Check out the rest of the Google "hits" as well.
Hope this helps.

He might also try WIND Youth Services...(916) 561-2424 (works with homeless teens in Sacto) or the Salvation Army (they're good about bus tickets--located on D Street just about a mile from the jail): Salvation Army, 1615 D St., Sacramento, CA 95814, (916) 441-5267.
Sometimes law enforcement has a fund to provide bus tickets, so he should ask when he's being booked out.
