Youth Homelessness Matters Day is 2 weeks away!
Wednesday April 15 is the national day to raise awareness about youth homelessness to ensure the issues and realities of young people experiencing and at risk of homelessness remain high on the public agenda.
Every year 43,000 children and young people present alone to services seeking help. This Youth Homelessness Matters Day, we are calling for a safe place for every young Australian.

To support YHMD we’re asking that you:
EDUCATE – by sharing and amplifying YHMD messaging.
ACTIVATE – by hosting and attending YHMD events. If you’re running an event register it with us so we can promote it for you. You can also order merchandise to support your event
DONATE – to youth homelessness services
ADVOCATE – to end youth homelessness by contacting your local member of parliament

By coming together we can all play a part in ending child and youth homelessness.
