An Hour to Give: United Way East Ontario preventing youth homelessness

< 1 MIN READ

School ends in June, meaning many built-in supports youth rely on disappear. That’s why the conversations, featured below, about youth homelessness on Rogers tv’s An Hour to Give are so timely and important. 

Host Sam Laprade sits down with Jema Ntelameno, a youth with lived homelessness experience, Trisha Islam, United Way East Ontario’s Director of All That Kids Can Be, Jackie Kennelly, Carleton University Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, and Rachael Wilson, President and CEO of United Way East Ontario.  

Through this show, we hear firsthand what youth homelessness can look like, why prevention is so important, what United Way is doing about it, and what you can do to help. 

Learn more about how we are tackling youth homelessness and how you can Match the Moment. 

United in hope, we can help people in need.

Only a few days remain to create local impact—make a charitable donation before December 31 to help tackle tough challenges and save at tax time.

In the darkest times, it’s the power of community that will light the way.

Let’s tackle our toughest social issues together. Poverty. Homelessness. Mental health. Social isolation. These challenges can feel overwhelming, but you can move the needle on all of them at once with a donation to United Way.
