UCF & Valencia Downtown Sleep Out for Homeless Youth

What is the Sleep Out for Homeless Youth?

We are giving up our beds for one night. Our Sleep Out helps youth facing homelessness find safe shelter and loving care at Covenant House. That care includes essential services like education, job training, medical care, mental health and substance use counseling, and legal aid — everything they need to build independent, sustainable futures.

By supporting our Sleep Out, you are supporting the dreams of young people overcoming homelessness.

When & where is the Sleep Out?

The Sleep Out for UCF and Valencia College will be hosted jointly on the UCF Downtown and Valencia College Downtown Campus on November 16 and 17 from 6:00pm – 6:00am in the Amelia Garage.
