"The National Network for Youth has launched a national campaign called "A Place to Call Home Campaign."... It asserts that no young person should have to suffer the fate of being "thrown away" by society -cast out and cast aside without a place to call home."
Congressman Rubén Hinojosa
NN4Y Marches from the White House to Capitol Hill with Zach Bonner and Little Red Wagon Foundation
National Network for Youth
On Thursday, July 9th staff from NN4Y’s DC office marched alongside 11 year old Zach Bonner from the White House to Capitol Hill to raise awareness of youth homelessness in America. Since May 11th, Zach and his mom have walked from Atlanta, GA to Washington, DC – over 600 miles! – stopping along the way to donate needed supplies to youth programs and meet some of the young people he’s helping. Following the march Sasha Bruce Youth Works hosted a barbecue for everyone to celebrate this great accomplishment. Zach founded the Little Red Wagon Foundation in 2005 ‘to help kids in distressed situations.’ Click here to see photos from the march or check out this article about Zach in The Washington Post.
