Because of them and millions of others, NN4Y is working to create a community of agencies, people and resources to champion their needs. Our member organizations span the county, and include community-based organizations as well as youth, adults, associations, and regional and state networks of youth workers that provide street-based services, emergency shelter, transitional living programs, counseling, and social, health, educational and job-related services to more than 2.5 million homeless, runaway, disenfranchised and unaccompanied youth. We're giving homeless youth a voice.
