6 pm — 7 am
A FREE EVENT FOR YOUTH
GRADES 9-12


LOCATION

Youth Sleep Out For Homelessness
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH
Build community and awareness for people experiencing homelessness in our region through empathy-building exercises facilitated by trained staff from Interfaith Works’ Homeless Services. 

SLEEP OUTSIDE IN IMPROVISED SHELTERS
Youth will sleep outside in temporary shelters they build from materials they bring to the event (tarps, cardboard, etc.). They are welcome to bring sleeping pads, pillows, and sleeping bags, but not tents (more details on this will be supplied).

SAFE AND SUPERVISED
The shelters will be in the grassy lot on the north end of Westminster’s property with on-site supervision and access to the facilities in the church at all times.
EVENT DETAILS
  • No meal is provided, and attending youth are advised to eat before arriving.
  • Youth must be registered through a faith community (or collaboration between various faith communities). Each faith community (or "team" of faith communities) will be responsible for an on-site supervisor at the ratio of at least 1 adult per 10 youths.
  • Youth are welcomed to bring sleeping pads, pillows, and sleeping bags, but not tents (more details on this will be supplied).
  • Interfaith Works will ensure the event and will have paid, experienced staff present for the entire event in addition to parental supervisors
  • Extreme weather backup will be available in the church gymnasium.
