Youth show up at the shelter’s doorstep sometimes with only the clothes on their back. They may be bruised and hurt emotionally and/or physically.

Covenant House’s caring staff provides their guests with nourishing meals, clean clothes and a safe place to sleep. Guests are offered a list of services – from health care and counseling to education and job readiness assistance. This helps them either to become reunited with their families or have the skills necessary to live independently.
