Let’s Place Power and Resources in the Hands of Young People

Join us in person in New York City — back where it all started — on Tuesday, June 20, and Wednesday, June 21 for our 7th Annual National Symposium on Solutions to End Youth Homelessness. The 7th Annual National Symposium on Solutions to End Youth Homelessness is about leveraging our power and our platforms to fight for true and lasting liberation.

Our two-day, in-person, gathering will offer a space for attendees from across the country to connect with providers, youth advocates, activists, policymakers, funders, and more committed to ending the national youth homelessness crisis and placing power and resources in the hands of young people.

Sliding Scale Registration is Now Open

We hope that this sliding scale facilitates increased access to our events and serves as an invitation for our community to both think and speak deeply about the societal factors that create such stark disparities in wealth and resources in the US. We trust our community to evaluate their needs accordingly.

Our Symposium is Now HUD-Approved! Project administrative funds awarded under the CoC and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Programs may be used to attend the National Symposium.
