National Runaway Safeline
The mission of the National Runaway Safeline (NRS) is to ensure America's runaway, homeless and at-risk youth are safe and off the streets. NRS' services include: - 24/7 access to crisis services via our 1-800-RUNAWAY hotline, chat, forum, and email. All services are free and confidential. - A database of resources and referrals for youth, ages 12-21, to local agencies and services across the nation. - The Home Free program, in partnership with Greyhound Lines, Inc., which offers youth a free bus ticket home or to a safe alternate living arrangement. Through these services, and much more, we serve over 125,000 youth in need annually.
