A 24/7 safe haven for youth facing homelessness for over 35 years
Every year, Covenant House opens its doors to over 650 young people ages 16-22, including pregnant and parenting youth and their children, with nowhere else to turn. Sadly, many have experienced years of abuse, violence, and trauma. Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers help them with their healing process, providing them with intensive case management and community supports and guiding them on new hope-filled journeys to independence and self-sufficiency.
With your help, we will always keep our doors open 24/7, providing relentless support, absolute respect, and unconditional love. We will never turn away a young person in need.
Covenant House is proud to be a "legacy charity partner" of the Crescent City Classic
