Our Youth 4 Truth members recently had the incredible opportunity to attend the "A Way Home America" conference, an experience that left us inspired and energized for the work ahead.
A Way Home America continues to be a leading force in shaping policies that support unhoused individuals and amplifying the voices of those who need it most. This year's conference brought together advocates, service providers, and youth from across the country.
One of the conference highlights was hearing from Symone, a Night Ministry alum, who delivered an eloquent and passionate speech on collaborative models for youth care. We were also proud to see our own President & CEO, Carol Sharp, present at the conference, on Mobilizing for Collective Action, sharing insights for bold, community-led change and drawing from her own lived experience.
The networking opportunities were invaluable, connecting our team with similar organizations nationwide and building relationships that will strengthen our collective impact. We're especially grateful to the "A Way Home America" team, who provided meals for our clients at The Crib for two days—a generous gesture that exemplifies the spirit of collaboration that makes this movement so powerful.
As we return from the conference, we're filled with renewed commitment to our mission and gratitude for partners like "A Way Home America" who stand alongside us in this critical work.
