Our mission
The Cove is a Waco-based nonprofit designed to provide a safe space for youth experiencing homelessness to access the resources they need to thrive.
What We Do
We provide supportive resources to 14-18 year-olds in the Heart of Texas region who have no safe or settled place to live.
Our Impact
Throughout the entirety of 2024, we helped a total of 190 teenagers experiencing homelessness by providing vital resources they need to thrive.
20 out of 27 of our seniors graduated from high school this May; a 74% graduation rate with the national average for youth experiencing homelessness at only 68%. 2,769 hours of attendance were recovered through our Attendance Recovery Program in the 2024-2025 school year.
