SUPPORT US:
This summer we need 50 new individual donors (like YOU) to donate $5 a month to help us engage 1500  youth at our conferences and training events. At only $2 per youth, and for the monthly cost of a latté, you will be investing in the only LGBTQ youth events that support youth and teach them to engage in their community, so they can make their schools safer. Our programming not only reaches high school youth, but also rural, seperate (Catholic) schools and elementary/middle schools. This month we got 6 donors, so we only need 44 more. We hope you will be one of them. Sign up here!

 

Thank you, and happy summer!
