AIDS Walk

The 2026 AIDS Walk Atlanta was an incredible success, raising $1.4 million! We couldn’t have done it without YOU. 💜 To the walkers, beneficiaries, volunteers, staff, supporters, and everyone who helped make this event possible: thank you from all of us at Lost n Found Youth. It was a joyful day of community coming together for a worthy cause, capped off by fantastic performances from @Alebra and the iconic @KellyRowland. We can’t wait to see what next year brings! 💛 #AIDSWalkAtlanta #LostNFoundYouth #LGBTQYouth #CommunityInAction

What a day. ❤️ This past Saturday, we came together at Piedmont Park for AIDS Walk Atlanta, walking, remembering, celebrating, and showing up for a future where no one has to face HIV or AIDS alone. We held space for the people and loved ones we’ve lost to AIDS, honored the work that continues in their memory, and celebrated the incredible community that keeps moving this fight forward. With a huge shout out to Kelly Rowland for bringing the house down and ending the walk on a high note! We’re so grateful for everyone who walked with Team Lost-n-Found Youth, cheered us on, donated, volunteered, and helped make this day what it was. And we’re proud to stand alongside the other AIDS Walk Atlanta beneficiaries doing this work across our community. A beautiful day in the park, a whole lot of love, and so much generosity behind us. 💛 Thank you for showing up. We’ll keep showing up, too.

AIDS Walk Atlanta is happening now! 🌈 Whether you’re walking with the Lost n Found Youth team at Piedmont Park or cheering us on from afar, thank you for showing up for LGBTQ+ youth. Every step and every act of support matters.💜💛 #AIDSWalkAtlanta #LostNFoundYouth #LGBTQYouth

🚨 Urgently Needed! 🚨 Fall is just around the corner, and our youth need your support. As temperatures begin to drop, Lost-n-Found Youth is urgently seeking essential items to help LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness across Atlanta. Right now, we’re especially in need of tents, sleeping bags, jeans and denim, socks, and sweatshirts and hoodies. These everyday essentials can provide warmth, comfort, and a little more security for youth navigating life without a safe place to call home. If you’re able to help, please consider donating one of these much-needed items this fall. Together, we can make sure Atlanta’s youth are prepared for the season ahead.

Here at Lost N Found Youth we are always going to have PRIDE ❕ This year's theme is LOUDER & PROUDER❕🌈 Atlanta Pride is happening October 9–11, and we’re celebrating love, community, and the freedom to be yourself. Find us at Pride at Colony Square, the Official Kickoff Party, the Piedmont Park festival, and the Pride Parade. Will you be walking with Lost-n-Found Youth in Wave D? 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Every LGBTQ+ young person deserves safety, support, and a place to belong. 💜 Support our mission through the link in our bio #AtlantaPride #LouderAndProuder #LostNFoundYouth #LGBTQYouth

A lot has happened since we first opened the doors to our new emergency housing. 🏡🏳️‍🌈✨ What started as empty spaces is continuing to become something so much bigger: a place where LGBTQ+ youth can rest, build routines, connect with others, and focus on what comes next.

We’re so excited to share this update with you and so grateful to every person who has helped make these spaces possible. 💙 Want to be part of what’s next?
