Founded in early 1992, the Young Professionals for Covenant House is a group of individuals, ages 21-45 who attend social and networking events to raise money and awareness for Covenant House Florida. Since its inception, the overall financial contribution that YPFCH has made to Covenant House Florida is $1,675,000.

When you attend our monthly after-work happy hours and quarterly special event parties, all proceeds from your admission go directly to help the homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth of Covenant House Florida. Get involved in our Monday night volleyball league at Pompano Community Park, join our Monday night softball team, volunteer for our monthly "Kids Fun" activity nights at the shelter, and vacation with us on our annual cruise and ski trips.
