As the world leader in volunteerism we feel a responsibility to unite our broader community, and to use this moment to learn from one another, to grow, and to become stronger.
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of both COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
StandUp For Kids is committed to the help and rescue of homeless and street kids. We carry out our mission through our volunteers who go to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives. We have been on the streets since January 1990 and continue to grow our organization to help America's homeless youth. Outreach Volunteers assist program and service directors in providing food, clothing, hygiene products and resources such as housing, employment, food and education.
Our next training is scheduled for: Saturday, June 13, 2020 If interested, please email: sdtrainer@standupforkids.org
Please note we need volunteers on the following nights: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday (More nights to be added soon!)

Mission Statement
Ending the cycle of youth homelessness. We do this in cities across America, one youth at a time.
Description
StandUp for Kids - San Diego opened its doors in 1990 as the first StandUp for Kids chapter. StandUp for Kids - San Diego operates four core programs:
Outreach Drop-In Center
Street Outreach
Mentoring
Apartment Support
Teen homelessness rates are on the rise. Our concern is that homeless kids are the most likely target of human traffickers, pornographers and gangs. These vulnerable kids are forced to endure unimaginable horrors, just to survive.
Our main focus is on prevention; providing an array of resources and services to help homeless youth on their journey to self-sufficient adulthood.
