Where

Its estimated that XX,XXX young people across the city of Detroit are facing homelessness or housing instability. Many of these youth are keeping their status a secret, afraid to talk at school or work about what they're going through.

As a community, we've got an opportunity to come together and create change - to dispel fear and promote acceptance.

So we're bringing together hundreds of high school students - that's YOU! - to talk about the challenges we all face - and applying resilience and perseverance to overcome them. We'll also talk about what it means to come together as a community, and the change we're *all* capable of creating.

We're bringing together a group of extraordinary people who inspire us and who we hope will inspire you too - people who have experienced homelessness directly, people who work every day to create change on the issue, and people who have dedicated their lives to serving youth. We very much hope you'll join us.

Not only that - but there's free lunch!

So click 'I'm Going!' and we'll see you on Feb 1st!
