Where We Are
StandUp for Kids provides both immediate youth assistance and long-term developmental programs with strategic chapter locations throughout the United States.
We help move youth quickly from crisis to connection through our four core programs:
Youth Outreach
Outreach representatives engage directly with at-risk and homeless youth nationwide. We prioritize developing trust and building relationships to connect them with vital resources. Volunteers distribute essential items like food, clothing, and hygiene products. We collaborate with community partners to support youth in achieving self-sufficiency.

Housing Support
Our teams support the transition of youth from crisis to self-sufficiency by promoting and providing housing opportunities. We offer life skills training, counseling, medical and dental referrals, weekly food baskets, and housing stipends. Our focus is to help youth build a community-centered life and maintain stability.

School Mentoring
Mentors provide youth with a supportive, consistent adult in their lives. They guide youth in developing and executing goals to increase high school graduation rates. We also promote vocational training, college and secondary education, entrepreneurship, and job exploration.

Food Access
Hunger clouds judgment and leads to poor choices. We provide meals nationwide, whether it’s a shared meal with a mentor in school, snack packs from street teams, or hot meals in our centers. Once youth have access to nutritious food, our teams offer regular food baskets and connect them to local resources. This helps them regain dignity, build stable lives, and make better decisions.
