Elevation Project Dreamers

Why Elevation Project Dreamers is Sleeping Outside

The Elevation Project is sleeping outside for one night, so homeless and vulnerable youth can experience safety and support. Many of the youth that YU works with have high-risk factors for homelessness, addiction, gang recruitment, sexual exploitation and extreme poverty. However, we know that early intervention is life-changing. “Science shows that children who do well despite serious hardship have had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult.” (Center for the Developing Child, Harvard University)

Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty in the lives of Rwandan and Canadian youth. We do this by walking alongside youth, helping them to discover their skills and full potential as they learn about God’s love for them. Further, we provide education for vulnerable children and vocational training skills for teen moms in Rwanda. Lastly, we build a community where young people find belonging and purpose for their lives.

By donating through our team, you are breaking the cycle of poverty in Canada and Rwanda, providing resources for our ministry and are unlocking a bright future for youth. Thank you so much for joining us and giving generously!
