His most recent appointment was with Prince William County Community Services as a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Therapist.

"We are grateful that Carl Street has returned to serve the children and families of Prince William County and surrounding jurisdictions as Director of Behavioral Health.

"The work that Youth For Tomorrow does in meeting the needs of youth and families has never left my heart and my passion for helping others. I feel blessed and privileged to be able to return to Youth For Tomorrow as part of a professional and caring team and organization whose focus is helping others. I am excited to have the opportunity to contribute to maintaining the high standard of excellence Youth For Tomorrow has established for providing counseling to our community."
