The power of community. End youth homelessness

Join us for MCM Sleep At The ’G, where each year, compassionate Victorians come together in support of thousands of young Victorians who are without a safe place to call home.

On any given night, over 7,600 young Victorians aged 12-24 are without a safe place to call home. Many are couch surfing, sleeping in cars, or staying in crowded and unsafe housing.

Your fundraising and one-night sleepover at the iconic MCG will help raise essential funds to provide stable housing and wraparound support, enabling youth to build independence, reconnect with education and employment, and break the cycle of homelessness for good.

On the night

Welcome to the MCG
In the same spirit that we welcome young people who walk through our doors, you will be warmly welcomed as you arrive at the MCG by volunteers and staff from MCM. It may be chilly, so please bring warm gear, like a sleeping bag, blanket and extra layers to wear.

Entertainment, fun & games
This is a fun night for a serious issue. As such, there is no shortage of entertainment and activities. Comedy, music, games and of course our PJ fashion show. Lots of fun and loads of laughs.

Real stories
Join our panel discussion to hear from an amazing group of young people with lived experience of homelessness. Feedback from past events has shown this to be an incredibly impactful and eye-opening experience.

Time for reflection
Quiet rooms, a multi-faith prayer room and mindful activities are available throughout the night. It's the perfect way to relax and reflect on all of your experiences throughout the night.
