Erasing hate by replacing it with understanding, compassion, and acceptance. Worth contacting for scholarship opportunities specifically for LGBTQ+ youth and Two-Spirit Native students. Many organizations host annual leadership conferences and summer camps — applications open spring. LGBTQ+ students with a GSA at school are 50% less likely to attempt suicide than those without. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
