Help teens stay in school and graduate!
For some teens in our communities:
Middle school and high school can be fun –– unless you can’t keep up with your assignments because you don’t have internet at home.
Middle school and high school can be fun –– unless you are hungry.
Middle school and high school can be fun –– unless other kids make fun of you because you are different.
Middle school and high school can be fun –– unless your school clothes are worn out or dirty.
Middle school and high school can be fun ––unless you are one of the 92 kids who experienced homelessness last year.
Tent camping can be a lot of fun—unless you are doing it because you do not have a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence.
RVing can be fun ––unless you are sharing the space with too many people because you do not have a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence.
Staying in a motel can be fun — unless you are spending your last paycheck to stay there because you do not have a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence.
Couch surfing can be fun –– until you are kicked out and have no other friends to stay with because you do not have a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence.
Having a roof over your head is great –– unless it leaks, or you do not have electricity, or gas, or water because you do not have a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence.
Join High Mountain Youth Project in our mission to provide a comprehensive safety net for youth experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness and other vulnerable youth. Your donation can help us continue to provide free resources to teens to help them stay in school and graduate through our Evening Drop-in Center at 637 Sudderth Drive in Ruidoso and help us open the 24-hour Youth Crisis Shelter with overnight care.
