| | 2024 Activist-In-Residence-Fellows |
| | | |
Now in its 3rd year, The Center’s Activist-In-Residence Fellowship program provides support to individuals
who are emerging or established activists with bold, cutting-edge ideas for advancing LGBTQ+ rights in New York State. We specifically and intentionally support BIPOC LGBTQ+ Youth by drawing from a pool of current and past ROAR interns to work with Center staff to develop their individual proposals to apply for the fellowship. Meet our 2024 Fellows | | | RiseOut Action Team Meeting |

Are you ready to make a difference
and make your voice heard? The RiseOut Action Team is a volunteer group designed to equip the next generation of leaders with the tools and resources they need to be strong advocates for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers.
Get involved today | | | | | With three major elections this year and New York voter turnout historically low, The Center is more committed
than ever to getting New Yorkers to the polls through our Get Out The Vote Campaign. If you have an opinion on what should be done, from school board elections to judicial selections, then voting is the first step to making that happen.
