NAMES OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP HOMELESS TEENS

6 Comments

Does anyone have ideas for this reader whose daughter is organizing an event to raise money for homeless teens. Please send ideas to Susan.knightly@verizon.net or you can post as a comment.

We wonder if you could tell us the leading charitable organization for
homeless teens in Brooklyn . Our violinist daughter is organizing a
benefit concert of highly talented performing teens and is researching
the best places to donate funds to help homeless teens. We are a Park
Slope family and our daughter is 13! She has contributed to CHIPS for
many years and is narrowing this fund raiser to target homeless teens.
Please send ideas to: Susan.knightly@verizon.net

One suggestion I have is the New York Writers Coalition, (NYWC):

NYWC is one of the
largest community writing organizations in the country. NYWC creates
opportunities to be heard, through the art of writing, for formerly
voiceless members of society. Each year, we provide hundreds of free,
unique and powerful creative writing workshops throughout New York City for at-risk youth, adult residents of supportive housing, the formerly incarcerated, seniors and others.

  1. A great resource for homeless/runaway Brooklyn teens is the Brooklyn Drop-IN Center in Williamsburg. The phone number is 877-4Drop-IN, or 718-384-7083.

  2. I relocated to AZ from Brooklyn. My daughter is in Brooklyn. I am looking for a name of an organization that will be able to help my 19 yr old daughter that is in NYC. My daughter is homeless and living from place to place without somewhere permanent to lay her head at night in peace. I live in AZ and feel helpless in helping her. If I could just get some names of places that assist homeless teens I could steer her in the right direction. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you… Cynthia
