with Youth Healers Stand Up! and friends
November is Runaway and Homeless Youth Prevention Month nationwide, and YHSU wanted to compile local events they are working on to highlight how local young people dealing with homelessness are working together to create new resources and ideas on behalf of their peers. Check out some of our events this November with partners at the Young Adult Leadership Committee, The Philly Homes 4 Youth Coalition, youth at PEC and Youth Service Inc, and more!
Members of Youth Healers, as well as young people from the West Philly community work on their blueprints for a youth-built drop-in center!

Youth HEALers Stand Up! is a group of 13-24 year olds who are fighting to put a end to youth homelessness in Philadelphia and beyond. The people involved with this group have experienced homelessness or housing insecurity and want to make it so that future generations don't have to go through the same struggle. The HEALers do this by educating young people, professionals, decision makers on what youth homelessness looks like, bringing awareness in our communities to the situation, and empowering other youth to use their voice and take real action to put a end to youth homelessness.
HEALers stands for Housing, Education, Action, and Leadership
