It's been awhile since we posted, but wanted all to know we are still active and volunteering! Last Thursday the leadership team was out in force at New Horizons preparing and serving dinner for the youth. We had over over 30 youth enjoy our inside picnic meal of burgers, chips, fruit and cookies. Thanks to the team for hanging in there these last 2 years as it's been a bumpy road. We are hoping we can continue to get out there and serve the youth of Seattle and appreciate all our volunteers and supporters.

Last year, we reached thousands of homeless and at-risk young people across the country through street outreach, mentoring, and housing support. This would be something to celebrate in any year, but to accomplish these things in a year like 2020 is truly remarkable. It is also a reflection of the kind of supporters we have –YOU– that continue to believe in and support our empowering work with the most vulnerable youth in our communities.​

Our work, however, is far from over. Until every young person has access to the opportunities needed to break the cycle of homelessness, we will not stop. www.standupforkids.org/move
