True Colors United

Youth & Students · Tennessee · Free

Co-founded by Cyndi Lauper to address LGBTQ+ youth homelessness and ensure no young person is denied family. A starting point for parents whose child just came out and they're not sure what comes next. Many organizations host annual leadership conferences and summer camps — applications open spring. Title IX protections cover LGBTQ+ students at any school receiving federal funding — including private religious schools with federal aid. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
