Dear John

The final countdown is here! There is less than 24 hours left to show you believe in better for LGBTQ+ youth and help us reach our goal by midnight!

Make a Monthly Gift so We Can Hit Our 2023 Goal!

Over the last few weeks, you’ve heard from LGBTQ+ youth and supporters who have personally experienced the power of the It Gets Better Project.

“The opportunity to work at the It Gets Better Project and connect with both English- and Spanish-speaking queer youth has been an honor I didn’t know was attainable.” – Yarit Rodriguez, Communications Coordinator; “We are witness to the feeling of joy and accomplishment young queer people experience when they connect with their community — when they are connected to their power.” – Brian Wenke, Executive Director

“[Adam Lambert’s] ‘It Gets Better’ video couldn't have come at a better time. His message of resilience and self-acceptance gave me strength.” – Jay Taylor, Graphic Designer; “Through advocacy and the queer support network I found [at the It Gets Better Project], I have created a life filled with Black, queer, neurodivergent, nonbinary joy.” – Eris Robinson, Youth Voices Member

“Ever since Aaron joined the It Gets Better Project at the beginning of this school year…he has become more joyful, more confident; expressing his feelings and talking about all of the things that make him unique.” – Abril Villanueva, Parent; “After months of work and the support of my fellow Youth Voices, I successfully passed a motion to create an LGBTQ+ studies course in my district.” – Zach Koung, Youth Voices Alumnus & Board Liaison

This progress, this growth, this shared belief in a better future for LGBTQ+ youth — it’s all possible because of your monthly gift, no matter whether you give $1 or $1,000. Here’s how your donation makes an impact in 2024:
