Unhoused Youth Advocates Internship Program
At Fenix Youth Project, we recognize the power of lived experiences. Our Unhoused Youth Advocates Internship Program invites young people directly impacted by housing insecurity to take an active role in advocacy and outreach. This program provides hands-on training, mentorship, and a platform for youth to lead change by addressing the barriers facing unhoused and vulnerable youth. Through collaborative projects and volunteer-driven initiatives, we aim to empower interns with the skills they need to make a difference in their communities.

A Collaborative Effort
Our work would not be possible without the support of dedicated volunteers who contribute time, passion, and resources. Together, we strive to create a collaborative, inclusive environment that empowers youth to thrive and ensures our programs and advocacy initiatives have a lasting impact on our community.
