Healthy Community Initiative

Starting a group that supports Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning youth in the community is the focus of this project. The three high school students responsible for this project have a desire to ensure that there is a safe space (a space that has an open and accepting environment where people with the same experiences can come together without judgment) for LGBTQ youth in Northfield. In addition to providing the space they will have workshops and speakers to support and educate youth and their families. YouthBank funding will support speakers, education materials and group projects. The YouthBank team is excited that this project will provide a space for a group of their peers that haven’t had many support systems previously.
