Why I'm running the Falmouth Road Race to support LGBTQ+ youth

Description

Please help me build communities where LGBTQ+ youth thrive.

For 15 years, OUT MetroWest has risen to meet the emerging needs of LGBTQ+ youth, launching new programs based on community demand. In 2015, our Nexus program was the first of its kind in MA for queer and trans middle-schoolers, filling a critical void. Since 2011, we have grown from a single weekly meeting for high schoolers to now offering multiple weekly programs for middle and high schoolers, monthly programs for elementary youth and young adults, community-wide events, and educating hundreds of individuals to build inclusive cultures in their own organizations. 

Because LGBTQ+ youth deserve a community where they are welcomed and accepted, for exactly who they are. 

Your support helps keep all of OUT MetroWest's life-affirming programs, resources, and events FREE!

• 20+ free programs each month
• more than 1,000 youth served over the past decade 
• 375+ youth and families who attend programs and events each year 
• over 30 cities and towns reached across Massachusetts
• At least one trained therapist at all weekly programs, supporting mental health needs of LGBTQ+ youth
• Thousands of individuals trained in LGBTQ+-inclusivity -- making their own schools, organizations, and businesses stronger, more welcoming communities.

Our youth programs include:

• Nexus: weekly program for LGBTQ+ middle schoolers, in grades 6-8
• Prism: weekly program for LGBTQ+ high schoolers, in grades 9-12
• Umbrella: weekly program for transgender and non-binary youth, in grades 6-12
• Drop-In: unstructured time for youth to connect in our youth-centered space, for LGBTQ+ youth in grades 6-12
• Shine & Glow: monthly gatherings for gender-expansive and LGBTQ+ children, ages pre-K through grade 5, and their families
• Nova: monthly social gatherings for LGBTQ+ young adults, ages 19 - 29
• Aurora **NEW PROGRAM**: Monthly support group for parents and caregivers of LGBTQ+ youth

Thank you for helping me reach my goal! 

Together we can give LGBTQ+ youth the support they need!
