There are many ways to describe Preble Street
We are a community at Preble Street. The “We” means everyone involved: staff, board, volunteers, donors, and especially those who use our services. Everyone is welcome at Preble Street, everyone is respected and treated with dignity, and everyone is invited to contribute to the effort of meeting our mission.

OUR MISSION
To provide accessible barrier-free services to empower people experiencing problems with homelessness, housing, hunger, and poverty, and to advocate for solutions to these problems.

PREBLE STREET IS ABOUT PEOPLE
Passionate and generous people who say with our founder, Joe Kreisler, “I am a human being. Part of my job, part of being alive, is making sure that other people are too.”

People who believe that families living in poverty should not have to go hungry, that no one should have to be on the street when they are tired or sick or cold, that youth who have no home should not have to live in fear and danger.

People who see their neighbors experiencing homelessness as having dignity, worth, and potential.

And most of all, the courageous people who come to Preble Street seeking help to overcome unimaginably difficult circumstances — disabilities, abuse, unemployment, substance use disorder, isolation, language barriers.

People working together to turn hunger and homelessness into opportunity and hope through programs that operate 24/7/365 to meet the needs of Mainers each day.

EQUITY AND INCLUSION
?Preble Street unequivocally condemns racism, white supremacy, sexism, ableism, and all hateful actions or words wherever they may occur – whether in our offices or shelters, in the communities we work in, or elsewhere in the world. Our mission calls on us to ‘empower people experiencing problems with homelessness, housing, hunger, and poverty’ and to do that we must acknowledge and fight against the many ways that racism, white supremacy culture, and discrimination are embedded in all systems of our society. 

Preble Street is committed to race equity and inclusion for all. We believe in our approach of combining social work services with public policy advocacy and education, working relentlessly for social and economic justice. Preble Street faces many challenges to create a more inclusive environment internally and externally and we know that we have a lot of work to do. But we are invested in the hard systemic work that it will take to ensure a more equitable and inclusive future.

We seek to create and maintain an inclusive, safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for all people. From shelters to offices, from the streets to healthcare clinics, everyone deserves dignity, equitable treatment, and respect for who they are. With the shared commitment of the entire staff, we can make progress to a more equitable workplace and world.

Careers at Preble Street
Do you want to be a member of a diverse team of professional, compassionate, and innovative agents of change working to end homelessness, hunger, and poverty in Maine? If so, Preble Street may be the place for you.

Everything we do is guided by our mission. To meet the needs of Maine’s most vulnerable people, Preble Street has evolved and grown considerably since it was founded in 1975, but the commitment to that mission has never wavered: it continues to direct the work of every team member at every level and in every program.

It’s hard work, and at Preble Street we’re all in it together.
