Strides for Pride

We can all move for 40 minutes a day to support the 40% of youth facing homelessness in the U.S. who identify as LGBTQ+, including those finding safety and support at Covenant House. Whatever that moving is for you, running, lifting, jumping, walking - you'll be making a difference for young people experiencing homelessness. Join Strides for Pride this June for our week-long challenge to support LGBTQ+ youth. Individuals and teams are welcome!

What is Strides for Pride?

Strides for Pride is our week-long challenge to log 40 minutes of movement a day to support LGBTQ+ youth in our care. Across the U.S., 40% of all young people facing homelessness identify as LGBTQ+. At Covenant House, we welcome all homeless youth with absolute respect and unconditional love. Throughout Pride Month in June, we’re raising awareness and funds for LGBTQ+ youth we serve.
