  • About Us

    Y2Y Network is building student-led programming to interrupt the cycle of homelessness for a generation of young adults. Y2Y employs a youth-to-youth model to provide a safe and affirming environment for young adults ages 18 to 24 experiencing homelessness. After successfully launching and operating Y2Y Harvard Square, the nation’s first youth-led shelter for young people experiencing homelessness, Y2Y Network has been working in partnership with Youth Continuum and students from across New Haven to operate Y2Y New Haven, a student-led overnight program for young adults, ages 18-24, experiencing homelessness.  

    Y2Y’s work has been locally and nationally recognized for its innovative approach and shelter design.  Our co-founders Sam Greenberg and Sarah Rosenkrantz  have been honored as Forbes 30 under 30, and Honorable Mention for the Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonian of the Year. For more information about our work, our team and our partners, please visit www.y2ynetwork.org. Click here to hear Sen. Elizabeth Warren talk about the power of the Y2Y model.

    At Y2Y, our core values are Dignity, Safety, Adaptability, Collaboration, Affirmation.  We actively work to pursue an inclusive workplace every day. We work hard, have fun, and value mental health and work-life balance.  Another way that we walk in our values is having monthly closed days, optional sick-of-work days every other month and flexible options schedule to help you re-energize and show up to be the best you that you can be!
