TURN PAIN INTO Power

We are committed to raising voices, uplifting and empowering youth, and celebrating individuality.

We believe LUV is stronger than hate and braver than bullying and bigotry.

We stand against the devastating effects of bullying, low self-esteem, and marginalization.

We seek to soothe the hearts and minds of youth struggling with deep emotional scars.

Our programs instill hope and strengthen mental health, empowering youth to thrive and prosper.

ARTS PROGRAMMING: Each year, we impact over 25,000 under-resourced youth through our art and empowerment programs. We impact youth, teens, and young adults at LGBTQ+ centers, schools, mental wellness and community centers, and festivals, providing safe spaces and tools youth need to thrive. Through creative self-expression, they grow their confidence and compassion and turn their pain into power.

ADVOCACY AND STORY-SHARING: We mentor and nurture peer-to-peer engagement with youth in 42 states and 27 countries. Our youth advocates inspire each other to promote kindness, create change, share their stories, and be their best selves. Our online story blog reaches hundreds of thousands around the world. It addresses topics important to today’s youth and provides valuable insight, inspiration, and resources.

WE CARE: We send personalized empowerment packages to youth struggling with bullying, their identity, or self-harm. We’ve gifted more than 20,000 to date. The research is clear: everyone needs someone in their corner. Everyone needs someone to fight alongside them and offer their full support. Knowing that someone cares makes all the difference. It can pull people out of their circumstances and help them lead a prosperous life. We’re proud to be that someone, providing youth with inspirational merchandise, including our EXPRESS IT! creative expression journals and personal messages letting them know they’re not alone.

With your support, we’ll improve youth’s mental health.

Thank you for inspiring hope and igniting change with us. When you do, you speak up and save lives. You show the world that LUV is stronger than hate.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible impact the "Express It!" books have had on the children at the Boys and Girls Club of Missoula County. These books have been a source of joy for our kids, providing them with a sense of ownership and privacy that they truly cherish. The opportunity to express themselves through these books has been invaluable. We want to thank Free2Luv for their support and generosity in providing these wonderful books to our organization. Their contribution has made a significant positive impact on the children we serve, and we are deeply grateful for their commitment to making a difference in communities.

Three years ago, I reached out to Free2Luv when my daughter was struggling with bullying at her school. Since then, they have helped her share their programming with her school and she has become a Youth Advocate for their organization. It’s been such a joy to see her confidence grow. She is truly a different person. She now shares their message of kindness and bullying prevention throughout her community and is touching the lives of her peers in a really positive way. I have watched Free2Luv improve my family’s life and touch the lives of many others. It’s so important that we support organizations like Free2Luv and do our part to make the world a better place for all children.

Free2Luv’s program is something every Girls Inc, Affiliate and youth serving organization should be a part of. The Express It! books are unique, user friendly, and super fun and make it possible for youth to process some of their difficult feelings and emotions. It’s is a great way to address youth mental health but in a creative and expressive way. We know that youth mental health needs are at crisis levels, and this is something that can easily be put in place to help address some of those needs in the now. It gives participants an opportunity to reflect and share their thoughts on different topics and themes within their world and helps them realize they are not alone. Thumbs up all around!!

I had the pleasure of working with Free2Luv last year as a grant researcher and writer. I was moved by their commitment, hard work, and professionalism in improving the lives of disadvantaged youth everywhere, whether it’s fighting bullying, helping them to increase self-esteem, developing their communication and job skills, or encouraging them to accept and embrace their individuality. Through art empowerment workshops and events, Kym and Tonya have put their cause to work, getting measurable results and achieving their goal of helping to make the world a braver, kinder place.

I want to thank Free2Luv for everything they have done for my family. Our teen was experiencing extreme bullying which led to depression and a very dark and lonely place. We were referred to Free2Luv through a family friend and their support has been life-saving for us. Their message that every child, every person is unique and special and should be celebrated for who they are came at the right time. They were able to share their programs with our son’s school and the results have been astounding. We are happy to support this amazing nonprofit to make sure other kids in need are helped and supported. Words can’t express our heartfelt gratitude.
