Join Us to Help Homeless Youth in Houston

Partners: Human Rights Campaign, Montrose Grace Place & Tony's Place

MLK Day of Service is on January 16, 2017. We hope you all will join us once again in transforming this national holiday into a “day on, not a day off” meant to turn Dr. King’s teachings into a day of action across the country, and to deepen our commitment and connection to those in our community who are too often at its margins.

One such challenge is homelessness among LGBTQ youth as well as non-LGBTQ, at-risk youth. HRC along with Tony’s Place, Montrose Grace Place, and Open Gate invite you to partner with us on a service project benefiting homeless and at-risk youth in your community, including LGBTQ youth.
