John —
As the It Gets Better Project’s Education Coordinator, one of the highlights of my job is getting to oversee our Youth Voices program. These kids are smart, they’re curious, they’re supportive… they are truly the leaders of tomorrow. And in a year that has seen so much hate directed at LGBTQ+ youth, they continue to impress me with how quick they are to speak their minds, have each other’s backs, and share their personal stories for the benefit of others.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some personal stories from our Youth Voices, starting this week with Ben. [[link removed]] Ben’s journey over the last year has been beautiful to watch.
When you support the It Gets Better Project [[link removed]], you allow us to support kids like Ben – someone who, in their own words [[link removed]], says with the help of the It Gets Better Project, the vision they have for their “best life is closer and closer to reality with each passing day.”
Please consider making a donation today [[link removed]] so we can keep uplifting and empowering kids like Ben. And be on the lookout for more stories from our Youth Voices throughout the month of August.
