homelessyouth
remember to follow us and like our pictures to support our lost cause! :)
We will post pictures of homeless youth, statistics and facts, organizations and much more to help you get informed in a different way: by pictures. Our account is for you if you don't particularly enjoy reading lengthy paragraphs and text. But we still recommend you keep posted on our website as it has information that pictures might not necessarily be able to display.
Why is this important?
Homeless teens are living in desperation, stress, and social isolation. We need to figure out a way to help and get these kids off the streets and into safe, warm homes.
Homeless teens have limited opportunities, going against their rights which state they have a right to healthcare and medical information to ensure their well being, protection, and the right to live with their parents UNLESS it is unsafe for them.
It is estimated that ONE THIRD of Vancouver's homeless population are YOUTH under the age of twenty five... This says a lot. Not only does it tell us that this is cruel and unjust, it clearly says we need to TAKE ACTION for this.
The goal and purpose for our site is to get you informed about this cause, and little by little, we hope to encourage others to donate, volunteer, contribute and do anything they can to help homeless youth get off their feet and meet their potential to succeed.
Other Announcements
On our 'other resources' page is where you can go to look at websites that are helping people like you to get more involved and check out cool stuff you can join in your community!
Line of Inquiry:
Homeless youth's rights are ignored and therefore they should be given equal opportunities.
Central idea:
Opportunities are impacted by rights established in communities.
