Want to know what it's like at Covenant House Florida?
Your gift of $100, $500, $1,000, $2,500 or more will ensure that young people have an opportunity to excel in life and reach goal after goal after goal. Your gift means that their potential has no limits.
LGBTQ+ youth face greater risks of homelessness than their peers and higher levels of hardship than other unhoused youth. Covenant House offers all youth a safe place to live and heal.
Each year, we reach hundreds of kids in Fort Lauderdale via street outreach, crisis shelters, transitional housing projects, and aftercare, making Covenant House Florida one of the largest private agencies serving runaway and homeless youth in the state of Florida.
The demand for emergency shelter currently exceeds our financial capacity, and we have waiting lists in Fort Lauderdale. We ask all referral sources, e.g. law enforcement personnel, social service representatives, pastors, teachers, and guidance counselors, as well as youth and parents seeking help to call ahead to determine if a bed is available.
GET INVOLVED & VOLUNTEER
By donating time, volunteers enable us to offer the critical care and resources youth need when they arrive at our shelter. From administrative help to teaching crucial life skills, volunteers are a vital part of making a difference for our youth.
