Since 2011, more than $25 million has been raised with the commitment to take to the streets, with nothing more than a cardboard box and sleeping bag, for one night to sleep out in solidarity with the youth of Covenant House.

The Sleep Out Movement is an opportunity for all of us to come together and make a meaningful and lasting impact on the homeless young people who live at Covenant House. The funds raised and awareness raised by Sleep Out participants will allow Covenant House to serve more than 51,000 youth this year. Visit www.thesleepout.org to learn more.

Covenant House began over 40 years ago when six young runaways were given shelter from a snowstorm, in the lower east side of Manhattan. Today there are 21 Covenant House locations in the USA, Canada and Latin Americas. Together we serve more than 56,000 homeless young people each year.

We are proud to be the nation’s largest privately funded agency serving homeless, runaway and at-risk youth. Our doors are open 24 hours a day for youth in need.
