Youth Homeless Awareness Month | Covenant House

Youth Homelessness Awareness Month

Over 4 million young people experience a form of homelessness each year. Every November, we bring together our global community to confront this crisis head-on. Change starts by facing the truth about youth homelessness. Join our community, take action, and help end youth homelessness.

By 2035, youth homelessness will triple. That’s the truth.

We cannot let that happen. This crisis is preventable. With your support, Covenant House has a plan to cut youth homelessness in half by 2035. That’s millions of young lives transformed. 
What can you do?

Take action. The cost of doing nothing is too high.

Rally to End Youth Homelessness

NOV. 6 | 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM | TIMES SQUARE

Don’t stand by — participate. Pick up a marker, grab a sign, demand housing, and demand change alongside the crowds in Times Square. Backed by powerful performances and youth-led moments, our rally will challenge you to act boldly, urgently, and with purpose.

Sleep Out

NOV. 20 – 21

Sleep outside so young people don't have to. Advocates from around the world pledge to give up their beds for one night, raising funds and awareness to end the youth homelessness crisis. Your one uncomfortable night turns into shelter and safety at Covenant House for young people who have nowhere else to go.

Sleep Out!

Kit packing at Covenant House

Kit Packing

Help us pack 5,000 kits with essentials, toiletries, mental health supplies for youth experiencing homelessness.

It's a great opportunity for groups and companies to come together, volunteer, and provide vital items for our young people.

Share Your Time

Host a Lunch & Learn

Discover the impact of our work by hosting a Lunch & Learn session at your office or virtually.

We'll collaborate with your team to design a session that aligns with your interests, whether it's workforce development, mental health, LGBTQ+ support, or another focus.

Each session includes an overview of our work, programs, and the youth we serve, followed by a Q&A discussion.

The crisis keeps growing every day. We have a plan to reverse it.

We're at a tipping point. If we stay the course, youth homelessness will triple over the next ten years. If we take bold action, we can cut in half instead. We can't afford to do nothing. Here's some insight into the issues, what we plan to do, and how you can help.
