Donate Today to Unlock $40,000 for Rural Teens in Crisis  




Every first-time donor to 180 Degrees can help us do more for youth in crisis.  If we raise $40,000 from new supporters this year, the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation will award us $40,000 -- that will provide 200 shelter nights for teens in crisis.

But.. we must raise the full $40,000 to receive this generous gift.  

With temperatures dropping, demand for shelter at an all-time high, your gift is needed today.   

When teens who experience family violence, abuse, racism, or homophobia have few resources to draw upon, they must leave. In rural areas, there are often simply no shelter options, leaving youth with the choice of doubling up in sometimes less than desirable situation, or staying outside. Youth who sleep outside in rural settings can be difficult to locate, and the extremes of our Minnesota weather can make walking outside in excessive heat or subzero temperatures hazardous or even deadly.  

YOU can make a difference!
