Over two million youth (between the ages of 12 and 24) will experience at least one episode of homelessness each year and over 100,000 youth sleep on the street for 6 months or more in America. Youth homelessness is the result of other societal problems like poverty, drug abuse and addiction, mental illness and domestic violence which is often spiked in cases of homophobia. 1 out every 5 homeless youth identifies as gay, lesbian or transgender. Young people who've grown up homeless often spend much of their adult lives homeless.
The RE*Generation is Virgin Mobile's effort to empower a generation to help its own. We're bringing together organizations that care about homeless youth, and connecting them with young people who want to help.
+ LEARN MORE ABOUT THE RE*GENERATIONThere are plenty of homeless youth agencies that need your help. In exchange for a few hours of your time, we've offered several volunteers the opportunity to join us at one of Lady Gaga's upcoming shows.
The first volunteers who completed the minimum required hours with one of our participating charitable partners received a premium seat to see Lady Gaga live!
