The Mission of DIAL/SELF is to help young people increase their personal and community strengths and develop autonomy by connecting them with housing, income, education and civic opportunities.
The Philosophy of DIAL/SELF embraces the principles inherent in the Positive Youth Development framework, which believes that all youth possess unique strengths which are enhanced by community support and collaboration and that all youth should have the right to exercise choice in their own lives.
