ISOLATED. REJECTED. UNSUPPORTED. HOPELESS.
Sadly, these are feelings 48% of LGBTQIA+ youth experience on any given day, leading them to self-harm. In addition, LGBTQ youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers. And transgender youth are nearly 12 times as likely.
We are failing our most vulnerable kids. This senseless epidemic is robbing us of precious lives and bright futures.
But together, we have the power to change that.
Join our mission to …
- Be there to uplift, engage, and empower queer youth
- Utilize the arts to turn their pain into power
- Highlight their unique voices
- Celebrate their individuality and let them know they’re perfect just the way they are.
