Come join my cause:
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center!
You will be able to recruit friends, raise money, and add a
profile badge to show your support!

Imagine a time when the possibility of being open with your sexual orientation as a teenager was nearly impossible. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center has changed the lives of countless LGBT young people over the past twenty-five years through its Youth Enrichment Services program (YES). YES has given teenagers the strength to openly embrace their sexual identity, to initiate gay-straight alliances in high schools across the city, and YES provides support to parents and families to better understand and communicate with their LGBT child. By making a gift to the Center this holiday season you can directly influence the lives of LGBT youth in the process of accepting their sexual orientation. We need your help so that every young person who comes through our doors can benefit from the YES program. Here is an example of the profound impact your gift can make.
