“Young people are the voices of their own truth.”
The Youth Action Board exists because youth and young adults who’ve experienced homelessness are leading the effort to end homelessness for all young people. We create innovative solutions by providing a safe space for youth and young adults with lived experience of homelessness to come together to strategize, share stories, learn, and put solutions into action.
