services. The program provides information, referral

services, crisis intervention and prevention resources

to vulnerable youth and youth at risk of running away

become homeless, parents, youth-serving organizations

and youth advocates nationwide. The NCS Program

develops and disseminates prevention resources to

minimize runaway incidents and provides technical

service providers and other key stakeholders throughout

the United States and U.S. territories.
