Each month, UUCM gives away the full amount of its offering to an organization doing the work for love, equity, and justice in our world.

We welcome you to view these two videos detailing Avenues’ work:
About Avenues for Youth
ConneQT: a video about Avenues’ LGBTQ in-home host program.

For 25 years, Avenues for Youth has supported youth ages 16-24 in Hennepin County. Whether a young person needs someplace to stay for just one night, or a year and a half, Avenues empowers youth to find their path out of homelessness. They do this by providing a stable home, building trusting relationships, and navigating the youth’s education, career, health and wellness and housing goals. Avenues for Youth operates 2 transitional and long-term living shelters as well as 3 community-based programs, notably including ConneQT, the LGBTQ+ in-home hosting model that pairs vulnerable youth with culturally-sensitive families.
