Organization helping homeless and at-risk youth in Montreal

OUR FOUNDER, FATHER EMMETT JOHNS “POPS”

In 1988, Father Emmett “Pops” Johns decided to reach out with love to help youth living on the street.
He asked them a simple question:

« What can I do to help you? »

Thus was born Dans la rue.

Your vital contributions enable us to support and help homeless youth for the past 35 years.
