Get Involved
AFC Amazon Wishlist
Purchasing an item from our Amazon wishlist is a great way to directly help homeless LGBTQ+ youth. All purchased items go directly to a young person who is in immediate need. From basic necessities like socks and underwear to helpful tools like GED testing books, professional clothing, or housewares, your gift will help a vulnerable youth survive and thrive.

Studies have found that LGBTQ+ youth comprise up to 40% of the homeless youth population in New York City. LGBTQ+ street youth experience greater levels of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking violence, trauma, HIV infection, mental health issues, and substance abuse than their non-LGBTQ+ and cisgender counterparts in the homeless youth population.

There are so many ways you can get involved and help save a life.
