GLBT Host Home Back In the Hood...
SEEKING COMMUNITY
According to the National Runaway Switchboard, 42% of homeless youth are GLBT
One of the ways that the Twin Cities' community is addressing this problem is through the GBLT Host Home Program of Avenues for Homeless Youth, which offers an exciting approach to providing homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth with safe homes. As volunteers of the program, adults open their homes and their hearts to young people who need and are looking for a healthy and nurturing connection. If you are interested in hearing more about this community-based program, please come to one of the following informational meetings:
Tuesday, January 16, 6-8pm
@ YouthLink, 41 North 12th Street, Mpls, 55403
OR
Thursday, January 18, 6-8pm
@ Midtown YWCA, 2121 East Lake Street, Mpls, 55407
OR
Saturday, January 20, 10am-noon
@ Avenues for Homeless Youth, 1708 Oak Park Avenue North, Mpls, 55411
Come learn about the history of the GLBT Host Home Program and about the application and screening process for potential volunteers. You will also have an opportunity to hear from hosts who shared their homes with youth.
