Before school is back in session, look back on summer 2019 with It Gets Better.

It's safe to say we've had our best summer yet. Fabulous events in three incredible cities, our first truly Global Summit in New York City, an unforgettable experience at WorldPride and the sharing of stories and memories that will last a lifetime. After all this joy, it's hard to believe summer is almost over and school is about to be back in session.

As you're heading back to your classrooms (or offices), get ready for uplifting back-to-school themed content in the coming weeks. But before that, we've got a recap of our New York takeover, new videos, and ICYMI, a new way to support our uplifting message — check out our limited edition enamel pins by artist Moriah Benton. Pins will start shipping next week.
 
Enjoy what’s left of summer and the inspiring stories we’ve selected for you.
 
Stay loud and proud!
