LUMINARIES 

LIFTING YOUTH OUT OF HOMELESSNESS

Luminaries for Covenant House Florida belong to a powerful human rights movement for youth experiencing homelessness and trafficked youth. 

This extraordinary community is comprised of generous and passionate people like you from all over the United States of America. Support from this community provides shelter, care and a pathway to independence for young people facing crisis and experiencing homelessness. Across our movement in Florida, we have served more than 40,000 homeless and trafficked youth since opening our doors in 1985.  

Covenant House Florida was founded with a vision that kids should not be alone on the street, hungry, sleeping in alleys, abandoned buildings, exposing themselves to danger and exploitation.
