Jeffrey Sitkov and Justine Yildiz share the powerful story of Doors of Change, a nonprofit that has helped over 2,900 homeless youth find housing and essential services since 2001.

Through their innovative Homeless Youth Advocacy Program, they're transforming lives by building trust with vulnerable young people and connecting them with the resources needed to leave street life behind.

• Approximately 4.2 million youth between 17-24 are homeless in America today

• 40% of homeless youth are LGBTQ+ individuals typically kicked out after coming out to their families

• 60% come from severely dysfunctional families with parents suffering from mental illness or substance abuse

• Justine ran away at 12 and spent years on the streets before finding help through Doors of Change

• Building trust is crucial—the organization provides 24/7 support and meets youth exactly where they are

• Their music and art program helped Justine develop jewelry-making skills that supported her through school

• Justine's journey from suicide watch to law school graduate demonstrates the power of consistent support

• The organization has helped 966 youth find housing in just the last four years

• Music industry support from artists like Elton John, Billy Joel, and Willie Nelson has helped raise nearly $900,000

• Even small donations of $18/month can make a profound difference in a young person's life
