The Alliance is getting ready to launch a Site Visit Campaign to encourage Members of Congress to visit local programs serving homeless youth. The Campaign is designed to be a collective, national effort to raise the visibility of the issue of youth homelessness among federal policymakers.

To launch the Youth Site Visit Campaign, the Alliance will host a webinar on Wednesday, September 15 at 2 p.m. ET. Presenters will suggest strategies for getting a Member of Congress to accept an invitation to visit a program to see first-hand how the program affects local youth experiencing homelessness. The webinar will also explore strategies and tools for making the most of a site visit.

Youth providers, local officials, and organizations or communities looking to build or strengthen a relationship with their Member of Congress should plan to join this webinar. After the webinar, the Alliance will work individually with interested organizations to strategize about congressional targets and local messages. Click here to register.
