GLBT Host Home
On any given night in Minnesota, there are
approximately 200 GLBT youth who are homeless.
(based on Wilder Research 2006)
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, January 26, 6-8pm
@ Midtown YWCA (Conference Room)
2121 East Lake Street
Minneapolis, MN 55407

OR
Thursday, January 28, 6-8pm
@ Common Roots Café (Meeting Room)
2558 Lyndale Ave. S.
Minneapolis, MN 55405

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!
