Every year, we give more than 8,000 youth facing homelessness the chance to build a better future for themselves. They come to us because they have nowhere else to go, but what they get is so much more than a safe place to sleep. Youth leave our programs with careers in IT, administration, healthcare, and more. They become homeowners, start businesses, and grow into loving and nurturing parents. GivingTuesday is the best day of the year to support our life-changing work: all donations will be matched 5-to-1 from now through Tuesday, December 2. Consider Covenant House when you’re thinking about how to give back next week.

Covenant House provides housing and supportive services to youth facing homelessness.
About us
No youth should ever be without a home — period. This urgent belief and over 50 years of experience have placed Covenant House at the forefront of the fight against youth homelessness. Founded in 1972, Covenant House is the largest primarily privately-funded agency in the North and Central America offering free 24/7 crisis care, housing, and supportive services for youth, young families, and survivors of human trafficking. Located in 34 cities across 5 countries (the United States, Canada, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico) Covenant House provides shelter, food, medical and mental health care, crisis intervention, educational and vocational services, and an array of supportive services to youth facing homelessness regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The Covenant House mission is centered and built on community, where youth, staff, volunteers, and partners love one another unconditionally, respect each other absolutely, and dedicate ourselves to a covenant of compassion and hope.

Thank you so much Mackenzie and QBE Insurance Team for helping give Covenant House residents a beautiful Thanksgiving! Year after year, you step up to make sure our young people feel supported and cared for during the Holiday season. We're so grateful for all you do!
Since 2018, QBE has partnered with Covenant House to collect donations from the QBE community to help youths and young families, who are working towards stability and independence, buy the ingredients to make a special meal to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanks to the amazing support and generosity of QBE employees and the QBE Foundation’s offer of a double match on employee donations, we raised north of $23,000! Thank you to everyone at QBE that made this possible! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Team Accenture brought the energy to Sleep Out last week, with teams at 11 different locations across the country! All together, their teams raised $257,979.11 that will support our work to end youth homelessness and ensure that every young person has a safe place to sleep. But Accenture’s commitment to our fight against youth homelessness goes far beyond Sleep Out. As a key partner of Youth Homelessness Awareness Month, they’re helping us build workforce development programs that give our residents a real path to financial independence and stability. From offering IT certifications to our residents to employing Covenant House alumni as consultants and project managers, Accenture is helping young people overcome homelessness for good.

Over 3,000 people gave up their beds last Thursday night, sleeping outside in solidarity with youth experiencing homelessness. The Sleep Out movement showed up to sports stadiums, Covenant House shelters, backyards, porches, and community spaces across North America. All together, supporters raised over $14 million that will make sure young people always have a safe place to sleep at Covenant House. Special thanks to our partners who assembled global teams, showing up to Sleep Out events all over the map: Accenture, Delta Air Lines, Cisco, Ulta Beauty, & Anywhere Real Estate Inc.
