Walk & Chalk

This November: Grab your chalk, take a walk, and express your message to bring awareness to youth homelessness.

2023 Annual Report

It was a phenomenal year for re-instilling our core values and streamlining operations at StandUp for Kids so we can better serve our youth.

The Reality

There are 4.2 million homeless youth in America. That’s a dangerous place to be. Within the first 48hrs, 22% are approached by someone soliciting drugs and 1 in 3 are lured into prostitution often trading sex for food or a place to sleep.

Meet Our Youth

Here, every voice counts, every person matters. We are inspired by the stories of our youth. You will be, too.

Our Impact

Everywhere you look, we’re making an impact. Every day, StandUp for Kids’ dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to ensure we continue to provide youth across America with what they need.

Donate Now

So many ways to give: $25 feeds 5 kids a warm, nutritious meal, $150 buys a weekly transit pass for 6 commuting students, $1500 provides a year of mentoring for a 12-18 year old at-risk youth.

American Street Kid

Their powerful stories are heartbreaking and their unrelenting hope and determination to create a better life shines through, in this true tale of love, friendship, and the triumph of the human spirit.

How to Help

Roll up your sleeves with us. Give your time, your guidance, your donation. Give from the heart to help these vulnerable kids. We need you!

Our Mission is to End the Cycle of Youth Homelessness.

We do this every day in cities across America, one youth at a time. Our volunteers and staff are here to empower homeless and at-risk youth toward lifelong personal growth, and to create in these youth a sincere belief in themselves through open, straightforward counseling, mentoring, and life-skills training.
