Step-Up and Sleep-Out: Let’s End Youth Homelessness

Youth In Need’s Associate Board is hosting its seventh annual Step-Up and Sleep-Out campaign, all to raise critical funds, supplies and awareness for youth experiencing homelessness.

Every dollar raised supports Youth In Need’s Street Outreach Program, which connects young people with safety, resources and hope.

The campaign kicked off October 1 and runs through November 19—and you can make a difference today.

Join Us in Celebrating National Head Start Awareness Month

October is National Head Start Awareness Month, a time where we celebrate the program’s impact, along with the children, educators, families and communities who make up the Head Start family.

Since the program was founded in 1965, Head Start has provided high-quality education, health services and family support to more than 40 million children and families nationwide. Youth In Need first became a Head Start grantee in 1998, allowing us to further support thousands in our community every year.

Join us in celebrating Head Start Awareness! Learn more about Youth In Need’s Head Start and Early Head Start program at the link below.
