Sleep Out asks you to have an open heart, an open mind, and a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone. In return, it promises to offer a life-changing experience. 

Sleep Out: Honduras will be held in Honduras at a location to be announced. For this event, Sleepers must: 

• Be at least 18 years old.
• Work toward a fundraising goal of at least $5,000 USD (if traveling from abroad) or $300 USD (for locals in Honduras).

If you wish to participate in Sleep Out but cannot attend this event for any reason, consider starting your own Sleep Out and customizing the experience to work for you. This is an excellent option if you would like to participate from home or with children. 

Sleep Out is an immersive experience that offers opportunities to learn from experts on the front lines of ending youth homelessness, connect with your colleagues or community, and hear from people who have overcome homelessness. The tone ranges from moments of celebration and inspiration to solidarity and reflection. Find a schedule here.

Sleep Out is a unique experience that encourages awareness, empathy, and understanding for the immeasurable odds that youth experiencing homelessness face. But while awareness of a problem is important, it isn't a solution. 

Sleep Out raises critical funds that allow Covenant House to offer 24/7 safety, shelter, and support to young people overcoming homelessness, abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. By fundraising, Sleepers become part of the solution.

For Sleep Out: Honduras, we ask each international Sleeper to work toward a goal of $5,000 USD. If you start or join a team, your shared goal will be equivalent to your combined individual goals (e.g. 3 people on a team x $5,000 = $15,000 goal) and you can use your team fundraising page to work collectively toward reaching it. 

If you're nervous about fundraising, reach out! Our team is here to support you every step of the way. Contact sleepout@covenanthouse.org to speak with a fundraising coach or visit our Fundraising Center for a step-by-step guide, sample messages, and shareable content. Fundraising can be daunting — it's part of the commitment you make to step outside your comfort zone when you decide to Sleep Out — but you are never in it alone. 

If you're looking for a Sleep Out with a smaller fundraising goal, consider starting your own where you can set a goal that feels right for you. 

Directly to Covenant House, where it is put to work caring for youth overcoming homelessness, trafficking, abuse, and exploitation. Funds raised by Sleepers are put to use right away to help keep the lights on and the doors open for the young people who come to our shelter each year. Sleepers also help fund vital services like medical care, legal assistance, education opportunities, vocational training, and therapeutic services that young people need to build stable, sustainable futures.
