Explore Our Impact
Youth
Homelessness
There is no single cause for the growing youth homeless crisis. Every kids's circumstance is unique and so are the problems they face.
Human
Trafficking
Every day, young trafficking victims arrive at our shelters. Desperate and alone, homeless kids are easy targets for this horrific industry. That's why we're on the front lines, fighting to protect them.
Continuum
of Care
We don't just save kids, we invest in their futures. Throughout a child's journey at Covenant House, our caring staff is there to provide the support needed to transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency.
Advocacy
Our work doesn't stop at direct care – we're also defending the rights of vulnerable kids at the local, state and federal levels. Stand with us and learn how we enact change through crucial advocacy work.
Sleep
Out
What's the Sleep Out about? It's about one night outside spent in solidarity with homeless kids. It's about raising critical funds and awareness across the Americas. And most important, it's about showing kids the kind of unconditional love that all children deserve.
If you or a friend are a young person on the streets or are in danger in any way, Covenant House can provide immediate assistance.

“I grew up in the Bronx with my mother, who is an alcoholic. A few months ago, my mom chose her boyfriend over me, and asked me to leave the house. I moved around a lot, and stayed at different friends’ houses for awhile, but eventually I had nowhere left to go.
