This month, as part of Youth Homelessness ACTION Month, we’re lifting up a new storytelling series.
It’s told across five weeks—five true stories from across our federation—that together capture the arc of what Covenant House really means to our young people. Each week in November, we’ll spotlight one story on our channels, moving through five stages of a young person’s journey:
Intake. Support. Growth. Independence. Community.
It’s a story in five parts. But really, it’s one story—a single thread of courage, care, and transformation that connects every Covenant House.
Covenant House is bringing together advocates, staff, youth, and key stakeholders in the US Federal government to discuss critical issues affecting youth homelessness.
When Hurricane Katrina struck 20 years ago, Covenant House New Orleans became a lifeline for an entire community. For Clinton Charlot, then our director of finance, the storm changed not only his work, but his life.
Covenant House has rolled out specialized mental health care training to give frontline staff concrete steps to take when they witness a youth in crisis.
Meet Lorraine Ruzich, a dedicated staff member at Raphael’s Life House at Covenant House New Jersey, whose heart for young mothers and their babies is transforming lives and building a new legacy of hope, safety, and sisterhood.
