Every night, 1,800 young people in King County face the harsh realities of homelessness— sleeping on the streets, in cars, or in unsafe conditions. These aren’t just numbers—they’re young lives filled with potential, hope, and dreams.
That’s why we’re launching “1800 to ZERO,” a bold campaign to end youth homelessness in our community. Together, we can ensure every young person has access to the resources they need to feel safe, supported, and hopeful for their future.

There are many ways to leave a legacy and support YouthCare through your estate:
- Name YouthCare as a beneficiary in your will.
- Make YouthCare a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, IRA, 401(k) or 403(b).
- Name YouthCare as the beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust.
