Steppin’ Up for Youth: Two Nights. Double the Impact.
Join the statewide movement to support youth experiencing homelessness
Every night in Utah, hundreds of youth face the reality of homelessness, sleeping outside, couch surfing, or finding shelter in unsafe places. UTSleepOut 2025 is your chance to show up, speak out, and make a difference.
This November, join Youth Futures and communities across the state as we spend a night under the stars in solidarity with youth experiencing homelessness. Whether you sleep out, donate, or cheer from the sidelines, your impact matters.

Why We Sleep Out
🔹 Over 15,000 Utah youth experience housing instability each year.
🔹 Youth who experience homelessness are 4X more likely to face chronic homelessness as adults. (Source: Chapin Hall, UChicago)
🔹 Most families experiencing homelessness don’t meet HUD’s narrow definition, which excludes those doubled-up or in motels.
You’re not just raising money. You’re changing the system.
