Abstract Background: The Republic of Georgia has experienced a rapid growth in the number of youth working and/or living on the street (YWLS). Although research indicates that YWLS are highly stigmatized, few studies have examined the specific ways in which Georgian social services providers conceptualize and respond to stigma directed at the youth they serve. Methods: In-person in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants recruited from governmental institutions and social service organizations in Tbilisi and Rustavi, two large urban areas. A semi-structured interview guide was used to explore provider perspectives on the social contexts surrounding the delivery of services to YWLS. Trained coders conducted a thematic analysis of the data in Dedoose. Results: Twenty-two providers (68% female; 32% male) were interviewed, representing diverse professional roles. Providers reported that YWLS are subjected to high rates of public stigma and social exclusion at multiple social-ecological levels, with Romani and Kurdish-Azeri youth experiencing the highest levels of social hostility, discrimination, and exclusion. At the same time, a subset of providers reported explicit and tacit stigma towards ethnic minority YWLS, reflecting how stigma and cultural racism may be reproduced within social service settings. Findings indicate that these dynamics prevent organizations from developing trusting relationships with YWLS, especially those from ethnic minority groups. Furthermore, providers must contend with courtesy stigma, which further contributes to a negative service environment. Conclusions: While campaigns have targeted public awareness on the plight of YWLS, study findings suggest that additional efforts are needed, with a specific need to improve the service delivery context for ethnic minority youth, who are stigmatized by the public and by the providers tasked with helping them to leave street life.
