What does a day look like for a teen with nowhere safe to sleep?

On November 21st, our Youth Leadership Program invites you to find out at A Walk In Their Shoes, an experiential event for HOPE Awareness Month.

You'll move through living exhibits where youth actors and spoken word performers bring real stories to life, from couch surfing and car living to tent cities and unsafe homes. You'll also try hands-on stations like a hygiene kit activity, QR trivia, a resource marketplace, and community art, and add your voice to our HOME and HOPE walls.

Afterward, our clinical team leads a conversation where you can ask questions, talk through what you experienced, and learn practical ways to support young people in crisis.

Join us to listen, learn, and build understanding.

📅 Saturday, November 21st
🕐 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
📍 10911 Reagan St, Los Alamitos, CA 90720

This past weekend, we celebrated a sold-out Bootstrap Ball and raised over $400,000 to support kids and families who turn to Casa Youth Shelter for help.

From honoring some of our community's most dedicated supporters to celebrating the resilience of our Casa Kids, the evening was a reminder of just how special our community is.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, or helped spread the word, thank you. Every dollar raised helps us continue providing safe shelter, meals, counseling, and care for kids who need a little extra support.

We're so grateful to be part of a community that cares so deeply about our kids and continues to show up for them, year after year.

If you missed out this year, we'd love to have you join us for Bootstrap Ball 2027! Send us a DM to learn how you can be part of it.

Just three days until the Bootstrap Ball, and we can hardly wait!

Once a year, our community comes together for Casa Youth Shelter’s biggest fundraiser, helping ensure our kids and families continue to have the shelter, counseling, and support they need.

There’s something special about bringing so many people who care about our Casa Kids into one room. The laughter, warmth, and generosity make it a night unlike any other.

This Saturday, October 17th, guests can look forward to exclusive Silent and Live Auction experiences, a W**e & Spirits Pull, our custom Hat Bar, live country music, and a special opportunity to Fund-a-Need. We’ll also celebrate some remarkable members of our community.

More than anything, it’s an evening to celebrate the strength and resilience of the kids we serve, surrounded by the people who make our work possible.

Already have your tickets? We can't wait to see you! Still need yours? We'd love to save you a seat.

Tickets are available through the Linktree in our bio.

Thanksgiving is almost here, and this year, we’re asking our community to help set the table for the kids and families we serve.

The holidays can bring a lot with them, especially for families already navigating difficult circumstances.

Something as simple as a warm Thanksgiving meal or a ride to be with loved ones can ease one more worry and give a family the chance to simply be together.

From November 9–13, there are two meaningful ways you can help make Thanksgiving a little easier for a local family.

Swipe through to see how you can help set the table this Thanksgiving.

The Bootstrap Ball is only two weeks away!

Swipe for a look back at some of our favorite moments from last year.

Live country music. Dinner. Incredible auction packages. Our W**e & Spirits Pull. And a room full of people coming together to show our Casa Kids just how many people are in their corner.

And this year, don’t miss our new Custom Hat Bar. Choose your hat, then make it your own with ribbons, feathers, charms, and hot-iron branding. Pre-order yours through the Linktree in our bio or choose one at the Ball.

We’re getting close to a full house. Grab your tickets through the Linktree in our bio, and we’ll see you October 17th.

September was full of our neighbors showing up for the youth at Casa Youth Shelter - a reminder of what it means to be part of a community.

On Serve Los Al Day, volunteers from our local community deep-cleaned the shelter until it looked brand new, giving our kids a renewed sense of home.

The Mitsubishi Electric USA team assembled and hand-delivered safety kit duffel bags, giving every youth who stays with us essentials of their own.

The Keenan & Associates team hosted a backyard BBQ, cooking side by side with our kids before an evening of co****le, games, and music.

For a child who needs a support system to lean on, service days like these are a reminder that they are part of a community that cares—and that cares about making Casa Youth Shelter feel more like the home they deserve.

If your company or organization would like to find a meaningful way to support our kids, send us a DM and our team will connect with you.

In Long Beach's 2025 Point-in-Time Count, 58% of the young people experiencing homelessness in Long Beach are survivors of trauma or abuse, and more than half faced mental health challenges.

Through our Casa Cares program, our clinical team connects with Long Beach high schools to navigate abuse reports, provide youth and families with crisis counseling, connect youth to emergency shelter, and help educators and families access our trauma-informed care immediately.

This Long Beach Gives, you can support us between now and September 24th to continue Casa Cares. Fundraise, share our story, and help break cycles of abuse and homelessness in our community.
