Forging Holistic & long-term partnerships to help end youth homelessness
8% of Seattle students are currently experiencing homelessness. One Roof Foundation aims to end youth homelessness by partnering with YouthCare to provide opportunities and visibility of the work that is being done. To date, we have raised over $4million for YouthCare and other nonprofits fighting to end youth homelessness.
YouthCare
No one grows up wanting to be homeless. In Washington alone over 40,000 public school students were homeless or facing housing insecurity last year.
One Roof Foundation partners with and invests in organizations working to end youth homelessness.
Our primary partner is YouthCare. Founded in 1974, YouthCare was one of the first shelters to serve runaway and homeless youth on the West Coast. YouthCare now provides shelter, housing, education, and employment training to over 1,500 deserving young people a year so that they have the hope, skills, and self-confidence needed to thrive.
One Roof Foundation, Seattle Kraken, and Climate Pledge Arena raise funds for YouthCare, amplify YouthCare’s message to our fans and the broader community, and provides job training, internships, and employment opportunities at our different facilities, to help move the needle in the fight against youth homelessness.
Youth Homelessness Night
Each year, in partnership with YouthCare, One Roof Foundation hosts a Youth Homelessness Awareness Night along with the Seattle Kraken and Climate Pledge Arena. This theme game is intended to help raise funds and visibility for organizations combating youth homelessness and provide support for their work.
Stay tuned to learn about this season’s Youth Homelessness Game Night.
