Join the Sleep Out
The Sleep Out movement challenges participants to give up their beds for one night, using only a sleeping bag outdoors, to stand in solidarity with homeless youth. Participants hear directly from Covenant House alumni, learn from experts addressing youth homelessness and connect with fellow advocates committed to ending this crisis.
Originally founded by Arvind Chary, Matt Schmeelk and Scott Sherman, the Sleep Out has become one of the most significant philanthropic efforts in the industry. By spending one night outdoors, participants symbolically highlight their commitment to ensuring at-risk youth have access to the resources they need to overcome homelessness.
Covenant House operates in 34 cities across the United States, Latin America and Canada, helping thousands of youth overcome homelessness every year. They are committed to cutting youth homelessness in half by 2035 through a multi-year strategy that addresses root causes, expands prevention efforts and develops more comprehensive solutions to help young people escape homelessness for good.
