Youth Homelessness Matters Day (YHMD) is a national day that was conceived in 1990 to raise awareness and public discussion about child and youth homelessness. It is held every year on the third Wednesday of April. This year, YHMD is Wednesday 17 April.
Marist180 is helping raise awareness about youth homelessness and put the issues and realities of young people experiencing and at risk of homelessness high on the public agenda. It is an important day of advocacy for sustainable and innovative solutions to support the needs of children and young people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.
We would love to have you join us celebrate Youth Homelessness Matters Day! There will be a sausage sizzle, a free raffle, and you will be hearing from some of our young people who will be sharing their stories.
Location: 36 First Ave, Blacktown, Marist180 Skills Development Centre.
Time: 12:00pm
