Youth homelessness affects every aspect of a student's life. As educators, we believe in order to teach students, we first have to make sure they are safe.
To help our students, we have to start with the basics. That's why we've researched the best resources and information to provide students with the necessities. We also have to understand the scope of youth homelessness and the real effect it has on students. Watch the documentary to find out more.
We also believe teachers have a responsibility to discuss homelessness in the classroom. Though students across the country — of every age, race and gender — are affected by homelessness, it is rarely discussed in mainstream classes.

In a perfect world, no student would be homeless. Until then, every educator must do their part to support each and every student. With the right resources, no student feels alone.
