24 Hour Hotline 
 

315-866-1112

No Pressure. No Judgment. Just Support.
                   We are here to help

The Runaway and Homeless Youth Program's 24-hour crisis hotline offers a free service to youth, up to the age of 21.  We are here to listen to young people who are at home and simply need someone to talk to for advice.  We are here to connect with young people who have runaway or were kicked out of their homes and are now couch surfing, living in their car, or staying on the streets.  If you are unsure if we are able to help, contact us and we can connect you to another service, if needed.
