Homeless Youth Connection is a nonprofit based in Phoenix, Arizona, that serves high school students who are experiencing homelessness. Its mission is to remove barriers to graduation and help homeless youth forge a path to a stable future through community support and increased awareness. The organization supports youths aged 13 to 19 with essentials, case management, housing, and mentoring to help them stay in school and complete their education. HYC collaborates with educators, government agencies, faith-based organizations, and donors to address the needs of this vulnerable population. Arizona data show thousands of homeless children statewide, with more than 1,800 youths identified in West Valley high schools served by HYC, and the group expanded outreach via an Instagram presence for youth in 2021.
