Celebrating 25 Years of Opening Doors for Unhoused Youth

Tonight, a young person in San Diego County will reach out for help. Maybe they aged out of foster care. Maybe they're sleeping in a car, or on a friend's couch, running out of options. For 25 years, Doors of Change has answered that call.

Since 2001, we've transformed the lives of unhoused youth, one young person at a time. Through 24/7 personalized case management, we become the first trusted adult many of these youth have ever had. We respond to crises within 2 hours, because youth are 95% more likely to accept help when someone reaches them in that window.

And it works.

Last year, permanent housing placements jumped 122%, from 27 youth to 60. Over the past five years, more than 8,000 young people have connected with our outreach team. Every door we open leads to safety, stability, and opportunity. ✨

That's what this night is about.

The Concert of Hope is more than a concert. It's the celebration that fuels the mission. Join us for an unforgettable evening with the PettyBreakers, a Tom Petty tribute, plus a VIP reception, live and silent auctions, and a whole lot of dancing. Last year's concert raised $358,800 for unhoused youth. This year, our 25th, we're aiming even higher.

Your gift goes twice as far. Thanks to our 2026 Co-Title Sponsors, The Larry Liebermensch Family and Jeff & Nancy Levinson, the first $36,000 in donations will be matched dollar for dollar. Give now and double your impact for unhoused youth.

100% of ticket sales go directly toward our mission. 🎶

When you buy a ticket, you're not just coming to a show. You're opening a door for a young person who has nowhere else to turn.

Get your tickets and be part of the night that changes lives.
