A big thank you to The Allstate Foundation for showing up for San Diego youth! Their team came together to pack 655 kits — including heat relief, dignity and wellness kits — for youth in our programs. These thoughtful kits provide practical essentials and a reminder to young people that their community cares about their well-being. It was inspiring to see so many people come together for our youth!

We’re so grateful to The Allstate Foundation for helping us support youth with care, compassion and dignity. Thank you for making a meaningful difference!

We’re kicking off the Solidarity Journey! We’re so grateful to the YMCA of San Diego County for inviting us to be part of their pep rally and helping build excitement for this collaborative effort to end youth homelessness.

Five organizations. One shared purpose. Together, we’re working to ensure young people across San Diego County have access to safe shelter, housing, support, and opportunities to build a brighter future.

You can join any or all days of the Journey, Nov. 16–20, and we hope you’ll join us on Thursday, Nov. 19, as we walk from our TAY Academy drop-in center to the County Administration building!

Be part of the movement by joining a team, making a donation, or helping spread the word. Every step and every show of support makes a difference!

Our Elevate program and Las Abogadas youth advocacy group attended the ’s California Youth Justice Summit, where two of our youth shared their experiences and perspectives. Nimsi, one of our youth support partners, also shared her story and how Elevate and Las Abogadas are working to end girls’ incarceration.

Many girls enter the justice system after experiencing trauma, unstable housing or a lack of support. Elevate helps youth heal, build confidence, and prepare for work while addressing challenges that can lead to incarceration. We’re proud to see our youth and team speaking up and helping shape a more equitable future!

Behind the scenes of our video shoot with Lucky Duck Foundation at our Storefront Youth Emergency Shelter!

Storefront is the only emergency shelter in San Diego County for children and teens ages 12 to 17.

With more than 23,000 school-age children experiencing homelessness in San Diego County, so many young people need a safe place to sleep and someone in their corner.

We’re grateful to Lucky Duck for supporting San Diego Youth Services and helping us work toward a future where every young person has a safe place to call home.
