Youth Grants

LGBTQ Support Group

December 2017

The YouthBank team was excited to continue their support of this program as it enters its second year. Meeting twice a month throughout the year this project has been a great success in offering information, education, support and camaraderie for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning youth in the community. The high school students running the program have created a safe space (a space that has an open and accepting environment where people with the same experiences can come together without judgment) for LGBTQ youth in Northfield. In addition, they have connected with adults in the community that help them develop workshops and engage speakers to support and educate youth and their families.

YouthBank funding will continue support speakers, education materials and group projects.
