Tonight, more than 1,300 young people will find themselves on the streets of San Francisco through no fault of their own.
Tomorrow must be different—our collective future depends on it.
Since 1984, Larkin Street Youth Services has given more than 75,000 young people a safe place to rebuild their lives. We provide housing, education and employment training, and health and wellness supports to help these young people get off the street for good.

View DetailsYoung people experiencing homelessness are often invisible to the world, but 45,000 youth are without a safe place to sleep every night in this country.
This video brings light to the resiliency of young people and the extremes they face to ensure they have enough to eat, a place to sleep and some level of safety.
We believe that every young person deserves the same things we want for ourselves and our children: a stable home, happiness, health and meaningful work.
That’s why we provide more than just a bed for young people experiencing homelessness. We offer comprehensive services, from emergency shelter to supportive housing, to healthcare, education and employment, that help young people build a foundation for lifelong well-being.
Our community is integral to our work to end youth homelessness. From volunteering, to sponsoring events, to donating, individuals and partner groups enable us to provide services at a higher level and to spend efficiently – a full 80% of funds we receive go directly toward our programs.
These folks and more are talking about Larkin Street and the work to end youth homelessness.
