National Homeless Youth Awareness Month

November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month, an opportunity for organizations and individuals around the country to spread the word about youth homelessness. To amplify discussions about the challenges young people experiencing homelessness face, and to enrich dialogue about how we can support them, The Homestretch team is championing 3 initiatives that will help spread the word.

50% Off Consumer DVDs of The Homestretch
If you, or any of your friends and family have not yet seen the film, The Homestretch consumer DVD is a great to learn about the issue of youth homelessness. During November, we're offering this DVD at 50% off (use the code NHYAMONTH50). With it, you'll get the theatrical and broadcast versions of the film, plus modules that go deeper into how youth homelessness impacts schools and the LGBT community. 

FREE Tools to Raise Awareness
Teaming up with ITVS and the American Graduate Initiative, we've developed a diverse set of tools to help individuals and organizations raise awareness using The Homestretch. From our Discussion Guide to our Youth Action Guide, these resources help make takeaways from the film relevant and actionable.  Visit homestretch.com/tolls-for-discussion to learn more.

Community Screenings
During the month of November, schools and organizations around the country will be screening The Homestretch. Visit homestretchdoc.com/events/ to discover screenings near you, and email homestretch@kartemquin.com if your group is interested in sharing the film.

Together, we can help raise awareness for youth experiencing homelessness.
