90% of homeless youth do not have a High School Diploma. Often dropping out of High School can be the first step to homelessness.

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.

Right now, 5.1 million young people between 18 and 24 lack a high school diploma. During times of economic uncertainty, finding a job without an education is nearly impossible... and for those who do find employment, statistics show they will earn considerably less than those who graduated high school.

We also encourage you to visit www.covenanthouse.org An incredible organization that works with homeless youth that started this petition on their website.
