PRIDE, POWER, AND PROGRESS: LGBTQ+ RIGHTS BEYOND MARRIAGE EQUALITY

For over a century and a half, New York City has been a major center for lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer life. Today, a number of organizations and initiatives continue to advocate and provide support to the LGBTQ community on the local and national stage. 

During this experience, participants will learn about the intersections of LGBTQ equity, youth homelessness, racism, and classism. We will serve and learn with organizations such as New Alternatives, GLSEN, SAGE, Housing Works, and the Anti-Violence Project. 

In this blog, participants will explore their own identities while connecting with diverse members of the LGBTQ community in NYC through acts of service with these community partners.
