We work with our community to improve systems and programs that affect youth housing stability.

We provide insight through our lived-experience to make positive changes within our communities!

We fight to eradicate systems of oppression including - but not limited to - adultism, racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, and classism while working to center equity and intersectionality.

We advocate for the rights of young people to ensure that youth homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring in our community.
