PSY Innovation Summit

On Youth Advocacy & Direct Cash Transfers!

January 14-15, 2025 • 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. • Portland, OR

Youth Advocacy & Direct Cash Transfers

Join us for our Innovation Summit in the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon. This community is home to pioneering partners and inspiring success stories in the movement to end youth homelessness. We’re excited to collaborate with them and showcase the groundbreaking initiatives taking place nationwide in the realms of Direct Cash Transfers and Youth Advocacy.

We’re excited to champion ingenuity and direct cash transfers as the foundation of solving and preventing youth homelessness. Following our mission of placing power and resources in the hands of young people, this two-day gathering will connect youth leaders, policymakers, nonprofit organizations, and funders to center youth-led innovations.

Register now to join us in January!

Sliding Scale Registration

We hope that this sliding scale facilitates increased access to our events and serves as an invitation for our community to both think and speak deeply about the societal factors that create such stark disparities in wealth and resources in the US. We trust our community to evaluate their needs accordingly.
