Jon Allen Tackling Youth Homelessness

Join me in helping to end youth homelessness in DC by pledging a donation for every tackle that I have this season. With your pledges, every take down will mean more life-saving and life-changing support for our most vulnerable youth.

WHEN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE DO WELL, WE ALL DO WELL.

Deborah Shore founded Sasha Bruce Youthwork in 1974 as the Washington Streetwork Project. With a small staff and a few volunteers, Shore counseled homeless youth and out-of-town runaways in the Georgetown and Dupont neighborhoods of Washington, DC, where they congregated.

Presently, Sasha Bruce Youthwork is one of the largest and most experienced providers of services to youth in Washington, DC. Sasha Bruce helps young people find safe homes, achieve and maintain good physical and mental health, create and strengthen supportive and stable families, and explore opportunities in education and careers.

The funds from this campaign will go toward the creation of The Jonathan and Hannah Allen Youth Innovation Lab at the Sasha Bruce House, and will provide resources to:

• Upgrade furniture and electrical equipment to accommodate new lounge purpose
• Upgrade wireless and broadband internet connection
• Purchase new gaming equipment system, UHD Television, and surround sound system
• Purchase up to ten (10) laptops to support formerly homeless youth applying to college
• Ongoing maintenance of the space
• Care, support and counseling for current and former homeless youth
