HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM YOUTH HEALERS STAND UP!

This year has been a whirlwind for the Healers, and we cannot wait to see what 2020 will bring. Check out our work this month, and join us if you can!

This summer, Youth Healers, Valley Youth House PRIDE, and The Attic teamed up to establish a new drop-in space for housing insecure LGBTQ young people at Einstein PRIDE Program, and this holiday season their dreams become reality! Join Us for free food, hygiene products, clothes, books, games, art, and more!

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
