GLBT Host Home Program Informational Meeting
On any given night in Minnesota, there are approximately 200 GLBT youth who are homeless.
(based on Wilder Research 2006)
This is an amazing and unique program that has really helped support a lot of people
One of the ways that the Twin Cities’ community is addressing this problem is through the GLBT Host Home Program of Avenues for Homeless Youth, which offers a transformative and community-based approach to providing homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth with safe homes. As volunteers of the program, adults open their homes and their hearts to young people who need and are looking for a healthy and nurturing connection. If you are interested in hearing more about this community building program, please come to one of the following informational meetings:
Tuesday, September 15, 6-8pm

Come learn about the history of the GLBT Host Home Program and about the application and screening process for potential volunteers. You will also have an opportunity to hear from hosts who shared their homes with youth. See you there!
