Lost-n-Found Youth’s Post

Volunteering can make a meaningful impact for the unhoused LGBTQ+ youth in our community ❤️ Your time and compassion can make a world of difference, in ways beyond what you might expect. Let's come together to provide hope, support, and opportunities for a brighter future 🌈 #volunteering #unhousedyouth #lgbtqyouth #atlanta #nonprofit #communitysupport #outreach

Have you ever been curious about what our drop in center looks like? ❤️ Located inside the thrift store, the drop-in center is open during donation hours (Monday - Saturday 10 AM - 5 PM, Sunday 10 AM - 3 PM) to youth ages 18 to 25. This space offers safety, access to meals, clothing, hygiene supplies and showers, and laundry facilities. Youth also get to enjoy a variety of enriching programs at the drop-in-center, including monthly lunch-and-learns and talks from graduated youth and other inspiring guests. They also have the opportunity to work at the thrift store and explore career opportunities. Interested in volunteering in the drop in center?

Did you know that some of our staff members have been through housing instability themselves? ❤️ For our unhoused LGBTQ+ youth, working with someone who has been through their situation adds an extra layer of hope. They get to see the possibilities for their own futures, and feel seen and understood during an often isolating experience. Thank you to our staff for giving back to our unhoused LGBTQ+ youth every day 🌈 #endhomelessness #lgbtqyouth #dropincenter #mentorship #itgetsbetter

No one should ever have to live in the margins of society, especially our youth ❤️ Every month our team hits the streets of Atlanta to offer help to those in need. We come prepared with go-bags of easy foods and hygiene products to pass off to people going through housing instability. Want to help in our next street outreach day on your own or with your team?

Do you know a youth that is experiencing homelessness? When an LGBTQ+ youth finds their self without stable housing, they have to navigate a world where acceptance is scarce. 💔 At Lost-n-Found Youth, we help provide guidance and resources during a dark period of their lives, and remind them that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel 🌈 Let's work together to create spaces of love, support, and understanding, ensuring that every young person finds stability and a place to thrive 💗🏠 #pridemonth #unhousedyouth #lgbtqyouth #supportunhousedyouth #atlantanonprofit

Did you know that unhoused LGBTQ+ youth are at high risk for HIV and AIDS? At Lost-n-Found Youth, part of our program includes providing access to preventative care for HIV/AIDS, as well as directing youth to resources for testing. Join us at this year's AIDS Walk, September 28 at Piedmont Park! We are so thrilled to be one of the chosen beneficiaries for this event, which supports organizations in Atlanta helping to end AIDS. ❤️ #endaids #aidswalk2024 #aidshealthcarefoundation #fundraiser #atlantanonprofit
