For over 25 years, Kerr Street Mission has been connecting with families and youth, offering programs and services that are needed in the community. At Kerr Street Mission, we are committed to upholding a welcoming and supportive culture. To help with that, we have developed the acronym “KSM CARES” to encompass our core values and service standards. These guide all of our interactions with members of our community, volunteers and fellow employees.
