Stories to uplift, empower, and connect — for you or for a young LGBTQ+ person in your life! [[link removed]]

The news this week has been rough. LGBTQ+ youth — in particular trans kids — NEED our support!

This week, we had the honor of co-hosting an Instagram Live with Teen Vogue that brought together 14-year-old activist Zaya Wade, 40-time Jeopardy champ Amy Schenider, and our own Youth Voices ambassador Zach Koung. Their thoughts on how we can empower and support LGBTQ+ youth in schools are powerful and particularly timely.

Listen to the conversation here [[link removed]]. Share it with a young person in your life who might need to hear these words. Plus, here's a nationwide list of resources [[link removed]] we compiled specifically for trans/GNC youth.

Thank you for showing up for LGBTQ+ youth!
