Who We Are

Mission

StandUp for Kids is national non-profit organization dedicated to ending the cycle of youth homelessness in local communities like ours, One Life at a Time!

Vision

We strive to build communities where all youth know care, feel loved and have a support system to help them move quickly from surviving to thriving.

Values

We believe in promoting a way of treating homeless youth that is unique and infectious.

Our role is to be care advocates, not case managers; friends, not service providers; community organizers, not the sole source of respite.

We treat each youth as an individual capable of making one’s own decisions.
We provide all youth with voice and choice.
We respect the individual diversity, beliefs and decisions of each youth.
We possess integrity and commitment.
We aim never to make a promise we cannot keep.
We interact as role models.
We find creative and frugal solutions to a wide range of individual and community needs.
We forge connections and empower local communities and our nation to help homeless youth.
We are humble about our roles as volunteers; tireless in our efforts to help youth in need; and dedicated to our mission and vision.
