Make a Donation In-Kind

As an advocacy organization that does not provide direct services to youth, we don’t have a need for clothing or other in-kind donations. However, we encourage you to reach out to a youth program near you. You can find the youth shelter closest to you HERE.

📢📢 We are happy to report that the FY2025 NYS Enacted Budget includes a $2Million legislative add to the OCFS Runaway and Homeless Youth budget!!  We could not have achieved this victory without your support and the steadfast leadership of our champions in Albany, Assemblymembers Linda Rosenthal and Andrew Hevesi and Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal! This increase brings the total budget for OCFS RHY programs to $8.484M! Although we know that this is not nearly enough, it is still something to celebrate as we continue to fight for more! #HousingIsAHumanRight #endyouthhomelessness #youthhomelessnessisapolicychoice #AdvocatesInAction #Rhy #HomelessYouth #SafeSpaces #YouthAdvocacy #lgbtqyouth #nycyouth #harmreduction #nyyouth #solidarity #Coalition ...
