The National Runaway Safeline, established in 1971, serves as the federally designated national communication system for runaway, homeless and at-risk youth and their families.  With the support of more than 120 volunteers, NRS makes over 250,000 connections to help and hope through hotline, online and offline resources.  

Youth and Teens:  The NRS is there to listen whether you are thinking of running away or already have.  Their services are confidential and nonjudgmental.  

Parents and Guardians:  The NRS can offer support and help connect you to the right resources for your family.
