From the Organizer
Welcome to the annual SLEEP IN SLEEP OUT! This at-home event will be held Friday, November 13th - Saturday, November 14th.
SLEEP IN SLEEP OUT for Youth Homelessness will take place in person at Wayward Social and virtually anywhere you want. During this event, community members will brave the elements together and sleep outside, demonstrating solidarity with our homeless and unsheltered youth whom we work with day in and day out. Will you join us in raising awareness of the ever increasing homelessness in our community?
This event will bring awareness to National Youth Homeless Awareness Month and provide needed funds for local organizations [in Atlanta(GA), Celina (TX), Chicago(IL), Dubuque(IA), Marshalltown (IA), Milwaukee (WI), Sarasota (FL), & Waseca (MN)] providing services for youth experiencing homelessness or unsheltered.
Getting involved is simple! Click the ‘Sign Up’ button and register to take part in this event. Your registration will give you access to the zoom room to connect us during the night of your at-home sleep out! *
Where do I sleep? The choice is yours! Sleep in your backyard, build a fort in your living room, sleep at a local campground or your back porch just for one night - a place where you do not typically sleep.
If you would prefer an in-person experience, we will participate at Wayward Social in Marshalltown. Please bring a sleeping bag and tent or boxes to sleep in.
Who can partake in the event with me? Why not make it a family or neighborhood affair and get your community involved too? You can choose to:
Register family members using the Sign up button
Send this link to your neighbors, friends, co-workers to join in too
Set up your own personal fundraiser (as part of the registration process, you can set up a fundraising page) and get your family and friends to sponsor you to sleep in the quirkiest of places.
By registering for this event, you will help raise awareness and your fundraising efforts, vital funds to give our clients safe shelter and the opportunity to live a better life.
Together, we will make a difference; together we will find everyone a home.
We can’t wait for you to join us!
