“We are involved in work that most shy away from because we have experienced homelessness, struggle with inconsistent living situations, and have friends and loved ones who have been homeless. We raise our voices, share our vision, and are part of making policy, program and funding decisions to prevent and end youth homelessness because we know how important and necessary real change is. We’re part of this movement so youth who are struggling with housing now can have their voices heard and know they’re not alone, and to make sure others no longer have to go through what we’ve experienced.” - RI Youth Action Board
