In the coming year, we'll see more than 70,000 kids at Covenant House – and an astounding 90% of these young people won't have a high school diploma. Dropping out of high school can be the first step to homelessness and a life of poverty. That's why we are asking you to support the RAISE-UP Act currently before Congress. 

Please email or write to your Senators and Representative and urge them to support this vital legislation that would provide education and employment services to young people 18-24 years old who have already left school or who are at risk of dropping out.
