We can all move for 40 minutes a day to support the 40% of youth identifying as LGBTQ+ facing homelessness and finding safety and support at Covenant House. At Covenant House, young people receive more than just shelter—they gain access to affirming care, essential resources, and a community that helps them rebuild their futures with dignity and hope.
Strides for Pride is our week-long challenge to log 40 minutes of movement a day to support the 40% of LGBTQ+ identifying youth in our care. At Covenant House, we welcome all homeless youth with absolute respect and unconditional love. Throughout Pride Month in June, we’re raising awareness and funds for LGBTQ+ youth we serve and it's not too late to get involved!
Participants will log 40 minutes of activity per day — running, walking, biking, whatever gets you moving — and work to raise $120 or more in support of LGBTQ+ youth overcoming homelessness at Covenant House.
You can sign up as an individual or create a team with your friends, family, or company.
Commit to logging 40 minutes of activity per day between June 22-28, 2026. You can track your activity using your fitness app or entering your minutes manually.
Set a fundraising goal of $120 or more and share it with your network.
All participants who raise $120 will earn a Strides for Pride enamel pin. Raise $240, and you'll earn a pride Strides for Pride neck scarf. Raise $500, and you'll earn a pride Strides for Pride fanny pack. No matter how much money you raise, you'll be making an impact on the lives of the young people at Covenant House.
Learn why Strides for Pride is so important, how to register, and how easy it is to participate.
We hope you'll join us to raise awareness and funds to support LGBTQ+ youth overcoming homelessness at Covenant House.
