About the Event

A Light in the Dark is a celebration of the resilient flame that resides in each young person that has experienced homelessness. Individually, each flame may appear dim and alone, but joined together, they paint a picture of a growing problem in our country – youth experiencing homelessness.

This event is more than an opportunity to bring awareness to this growing problem. It is a tribute to the young people and their supporters that are helping to redefine what it means to be homeless. Together, they form a growing community of advocates working to put into action real solutions to bring an end to youth homelessness in our generation.
