Sleep Out to End Youth Homelessness

One Purpose. One Night. One Community.

Why Sleep Out?

Sleep Out is more than just an event—it's a powerful statement of solidarity with the thousands of young people facing homelessness every night. By choosing to sleep outside for one night, participants raise awareness and critical funds that help Covenant House Illinois provide safe shelter, nourishing meals, education, and job training to youth in need. Your participation not only brings attention to a pressing issue but also directly supports programs that offer these young people the chance to rebuild their lives.

Sleep Out to show that no youth should have to face homelessness alone.
