. . . is to serve children and youth on the street and to protect and safeguard all children and youth. . . with absolute respect and unconditional love.
To lead change that supports and empowers youth who are homeless, trafficked or at risk to pursue a life of wellness and opportunity.
At Covenant House, we believe that every young person:
We welcome all youth without judgement or conditions; meeting their immediate basic needs of food, clothing, medical attention, and a safe place to sleep, at no cost.
We acknowledge the bravery it takes for young people to walk through our doors. We offer them a welcoming and safe environment based on absolute respect, unconditional love, and relentless support, where we believe in and encourage their resilience.
We value authentic relationships, honour the voice of our youth, and model caring relationships based on trust, respect, and honesty.
We provide stability and consistency for young people to pursue their great promise.
We honour that young people hold the power to their story. Through relentless engagement we foster confidence and encourage them to believe in themselves and make informed choices about their lives.
