We encourage individuals who have well-established professional networks and/or are notable figures in the public to register and join a powerful community of people helping young people in need.

This could include individuals in top-level management and senior executive positions, or leaders in their industry.

Each participant will give up the comforts of their bed for one night to provide many nights of safety at Covenant House Vancouver. Participants will Sleep Out with nothing more than a piece of cardboard and a sleeping bag.

The safety of our participants, youth, staff, and volunteers is our first and foremost concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently reviewing best practice for hosting this event safely, while also providing the best Sleep Out experience possible. Further details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Participants are challenged to each raise $20,000 in critical funds and increase awareness for Covenant House Vancouver and our Programs.

All participants are required to fundraise. Fundraising is made easy with your own personal fundraising page and fundraising tools to reach out to your networks.

From the moment you register, the Sleep Out team is available to help you. Ask for our Fundraising Toolkit and Social Media Guide for content, images, and ideas to help kickstart your fundraising. In the weeks leading up to the event, you will also receive emails with fundraising tips, copy-and-paste content and information to help you.

All funds raised for Sleep Out: Executive Edition will go directly towards the Crisis Programs at Covenant House Vancouver.
