The projects in Coventry and Keighley, West Yorkshire, are backed with £250,000 from Comic Relief, and will seek to prevent young people from running away.
The Safe in the City Coventry project will provide support to young people with a history of running away.
It will help with problems such as self-esteem, school and family by bringing together services run by various local agencies.
The Keighley project will try to prevent running away by offering a tailored programme of support, which could include family mediation work or help with drug problems. It will also run a drop-in service for young people, and work in schools to help children at risk of exploitation.
