Runaway and Homeless Youth

MANY’s roots are in the field of runaway and homeless youth services. Founded in 1988 by services providers, MANY has provided leadership and support to grantees operating programs that offer alternatives to involvement in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems for more than 18 years. These programs create a community safety net for youth that have runaway from home, are without a home, or have been thrown out of their homes by their parents or guardians.

These services are unique and require a unique approach to staff and program development. MANY builds the capacity of these organizations and their staff through training, technical assistance, networking, convening, and education.
