Zac Efron is kind
EXCLUSIVE.

Me. I’m Zac Efron’s newest fan.

We’re heading to Tofino tomorrow and I will force Jacek to sit through 17 Again. Maybe some High School Musical. Putting my name on the list for advance tickets to whatever he’s releasing next. Because Zac Efron has just made a huge difference in the life of one young man.

Covenant House Vancouver works with homeless and at risk youth living on Vancouver streets. Through our continuum of care, Covenant House Vancouver exists for those young people for whom there is often no one else - young people who have either willingly fled physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse or those who have been forced from their homes.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens walked by our building at Drake & Seymour in Vancouver the other day. A young man (we’ll call him James) who has been staying in our crisis shelter was standing outside. Zac said hello, and he stopped to talk. James loves movies. He dreams of being an actor. If he can turn it around, he’d like to pursue acting one day. And Zac took the time to chat and hear his story, very directly asking James why he was at Covenant House, and James answered honestly, sharing details about his experience on the street as Zac listened intently.

When their conversation came to an end, James was hoping for an autograph. Zac wasn’t carrying anything with him so they said goodbye and he left…only the next day, a package was delivered to James at Covenant House Vancouver and inside the package was a photo and on the photo Zac had written a personal message to James, with kindness and compassion, encouraging him to stick with his program at Covenant House, and signing Love, Zac.

You cannot imagine how excited James is. Yes, it was cool to meet a celebrity, yes it was cool to get his autograph, but it’s even cooler that Zac not only remembered his name, but kept thinking about him afterwards, thought about it enough to make sure James received his note.

Sometimes that’s all it takes.

One of the most common sentiments I’ve heard from our kids is that they “don’t want to feel invisible” anymore. It’s the lack of eye contact, it’s the way we look away from them, even when they’re not asking for anything, it’s the constant shunning that hurts the most.

Zac Efron stopped at a crisis shelter and showed a lot of respect to someone his own age at the opposite end of the life lottery. Never mind celebrities, not many civilians would bother to do the same.

Thank you Zac Efron.

I have not posted in a while but wanted to check in. I live on Vancouver Island not too far away from where Zac just finished filming - I know that in Vancouver and in Victoria there is plenty of homeless/displaced at risk youth and your right about the "invisibility" when it comes to how these individuals are treated. There was a really powerful commercial on TV (not sure if it was on in the States) about this exact issue. It shoes a teenager sleeping on the streets and asks ..where did he come from? or something to that effect. It then changes into a hospital setting with a Mother gazing down at her baby - and mentions this is where everyone starts, or something - sorry, I am a little off in describing it - it is a very powerful ad. I am glad Zac took the time.Thanks for sharing this.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

WOW! Now *that* is a true testimonial to how Zac really is.

Thank you so much for posting this!

ur so right Chris! this is the kind of story that should be told about ANY celeb and this proves that there are good people in this world of ours. this story just also PROVED that just because someone is famous doesnt mean they dont care. Zac didnt have to stand there and listen to this guy talk on and on about his dreams when he could have left the guy saying "you know, thats not gonna happen to you. i know you wanna talk but i gotta run." and leave like some jerk. but no, Zac stood there and intently listened to this guy's story with open ears and a compassionate heart. and to give the guy a package and a message telling him to never give up is truly touching. that is real humanitarianism.


awwww....that was so sweet.....
Zac always amazes me ....and like sharon said I'm proud to be his fan too <3



and im proud to be Zac's fan too. one of the many reasons i now add to my list.

So what, we're praising Zac for being a NORMAL HUMAN?
He's just another person like you and me... Except for the fact that he's famous.
I'm not going to praise Zac for being something I already knew he was.
Zac is great guy and that's why most of us like him.

[isabela.]

Not every normal human would do that..so yeah, we're praising Zac.

[Zacefronitis]

we could all learn something from his humility.
