Back to School 2012

Youth On Their Own supports the high school graduation of homeless youth.

Homeless youth ages 13-21 need school supplies too!
Please help "Stuff a Backpack" for one of the 4,000+ homeless youth in our high schools. Fill a teen-size backpack with various school supplies: loose leaf paper, folders, pens, binders, pencils, glue, tape, calculator, Kleenex, hand sanitizer and more.

Urgent Alert to All!

Recently, the Youth On Their Own office was notified that teens/youth identifying themselves as YOTO students were canvasing local neighborhoods, requesting monetary donations door–to-door. If this should occur, please DO NOT give money or anything else to these people and notify the police immediately!

Youth On Their Own students and organization do not solicit “door-to-door” and Youth On Their Own students do not canvas neighborhoods. Donations made to Youth On Their Own are made directly to YOTO either by mail, at yoto.org, or at YOTO events.

We thank you for your continued support and urge you to exercise caution when anyone comes to your door for a donation.
