School Rough Sleep Out

One night. Real stories. Lasting impact.

 

The School Rough Sleep Out is a transformative learning experience that fosters compassion, leadership, and social responsibility.

An immersive learning experience about homelessness.

 

Every night in South Australia, more than 5,500 young people experience homelessness. Some sleep on the streets, others couch surf, and many struggle to find a safe and stable
place to call home.

Baptist Care SA, in partnership with THE RITE JOURNEY, is proud to present the School Rough Sleep Out, a powerful, hands-on experience that challenges students to give up the comforts of home and sleep rough for one night.

By swapping their beds for sleeping bags, students walk in someone else’s shoes, developing empathy, a deeper understanding of social issues, and a stronger sense of their role in creating positive change.
