Caregivers Outreach is proud to celebrate its 20th Anniversary with a special gala honoring family caregivers, youth caregivers, community leaders, partners, and all those who support the caregiving journey.

For 20 years, Caregivers Outreach has worked to educate, empower, and uplift caregivers and families through awareness, advocacy, education, respite, recognition, and community-based support. This milestone celebration will recognize the strength, sacrifice, and resilience of caregivers while highlighting the continued mission of Caregivers Outreach and COYE — Caregivers Outreach: Youth Empowerment.

Caregivers Outreach: Youth Empowerment (COYE) is proud to host the First New York State Youth Caregiver Symposium, bringing together professionals, educators, healthcare providers, social service agencies, community organizations, policymakers, students, and advocates to raise awareness about youth caregivers and build stronger systems of support.

Youth caregivers are young people who provide care or support to a parent, grandparent, sibling, or loved one impacted by illness, disability, aging, mental health challenges, substance use, or other complex needs. Many youth caregivers remain hidden and unsupported, often balancing school, work, family responsibilities, and their own personal development. This symposium is designed to start a statewide conversation and move from awareness to action.
