SLEEP OUT TO END YOUTH HOMELESSNESS This year, 4.2 million kids will be homeless in America. Fight these numbers by joining or starting a Sleep Out today: you’ll raise lifesaving funds to give kids safe shelter and opportunity, and unite your community against youth homelessness. Young Professionals will unite for a life-changing experience as part of the Covenant House Sleep Out Movement, lifting up homeless young people with compassion and love. Claim a sleeping bag. Get to know the young people who live with us, collect funds to help them learn and grow, and sleep outside our shelter in solidarity with them.
Sleep Out makes a meaningful impact.
Sleep Out isn't about pretending to be homeless. We Sleep Out so homeless kids don't have to. When you Sleep Out, you're not just raising funds and awareness - you're showing these young people your commitment to their future.
Sleep Out builds community.Whether you join an existing Sleep Out or create one of your own with friends and family, colleagues or church, you're shining a light on the injustice of youth homelessness and inspiring entire communities to step up and protect kids.

Mission Statement
We who recognize God's providence and fidelity to His people are dedicated to living out His covenant among ourselves and those children we serve, with absolute respect and unconditional love. That commitment calls us to serve suffering children of the street, and to protect and safeguard all children. Just as Christ in His humanity is the visible sign of God's presence among His people, so our efforts together in the covenant community are a visible sign that effects the presence of God, working through the Holy Spirit among ourselves and our kids.
Description
My name is Kirsten Corley, I was a volunteer with Covenant House for four years before being hired as the Development Associate. In my time volunteering, I had the opportunity to go to our international shelter in Guatemala, run 2 NY full marathons and 2 NY halfs, sit in the board both in NY and NJ and meet some of my closest friends partaking in our yearly sleep out. Covenant House hosts sleep outs throughout the year, where for a night you sleep with a box and a sleeping bag to raise money and awareness for our youth. As the development associate my job is to find volunteers like myself, who want to learn more about our organization, volunteer with the kids and connect a group of like minded people to a mission that includes protecting children and keeping them off the streets. If anyone in interested in learning more I ask you to contact me directly! Thanks so much! Kirsten Corley
