Youth Homelessness Matters Day sheds light on the issue of youth homelessness as it continues to affect thousands of teenagers around the nation. Youth homelessness is a national disgrace. To end youth homelessness we need a national plan.

• Volunteering with the organisation
• Donating to the foundation
• Raising awareness on social media
