Mission Statement
We strive to create transformative mentorship opportunities where LGBTQ+ young people are invited to explore their passions, agency, and personhood alongside an intergenerational community. We envision a world where LGBTQ+ young people are surrounded by affirming, trusted, and allied peers, adults, communities, and structures that support them to thrive with authenticity and pride.
Description
LGBTQ+ young people are disproportionately exposed to violence and marginalization based on homophobia, transphobia, queer criminalization, racism, ableism, capitalism, adultism, the patriarchy, and other systems of oppression. Many do not have any LGBTQ+ adults in their lives who are invested in their joy and growth. We are here to change that. We facilitate intergenerational mentoring relationships for LGBTQ+ young people that address the harm in their lives and celebrate them for who they are. Our programs are all-encompassing, reimagining mentorship to be individual, group, and peer. As a remote-first organization, we further reimagine mentoring by creating far-reaching access for LGBTQ+ young people across the country.
