2021 RHY National Grantee Training

Welcome to the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) and the Runaway and Homeless Youth Training and Technical Assistance Center (RHYTTAC) 2021 Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) National Grantee Training. This year's event will be held virtually from November 16-18, 2021, between 12pm - 6pm ET, with a Welcome Reception on November 15th beginning at 12pm ET. The RHY National Grantee Training is no-cost to FYSB RHY Grantees and youth-serving organizations.

Through the RHY Program, FYSB supports street outreach, emergency shelters and longer-term transitional living and maternity group home programs to serve young people experiencing runaway or homeless situations. We anticipate over 1,200 attendees seeking to improve their approaches to program implementation, strengthen community partnerships, connect with federal staff, and network with other grantees. This event provides an opportunity to share knowledge, experiences, and innovation to pursue the common goal of providing effective, culturally responsive and trauma informed services to youth and young adults experiencing homelessness.

Theme

“Brighter Futures: Strengthening Pathways for Youth Success" is the theme for the 2021 Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) National Grantee Training.  

Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) programs have always adapted and strengthened pathways for the youth they serve by developing innovative ways to address trauma and providing services that lead to youth success. This is particularly true as we continue through and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) and the Runaway and Homeless Youth Training and Technical Assistance Center (RHYTTAC) 2021 RHY National Grantee Training will expand understanding and show how different pathways, and supportive connections all lead to brighter futures.
