More than 3.5 million young adults ages 18 to 25 experience a form of homelessness in the course of a year – that’s 1 of every 10 young adults.

Thanks to champions like you – through your volunteer work and contributions, we are able to provide them with a safe place to stay and the wrap-around support services to help them thrive. We believe that every young person that comes to us deserves a chance to begin a new path forward – with real tools to get started.

It’s all about unconditional love, absolute respect–
and encouragement every step of the way.

We hope that you will join us for this spectacular event!
