We’re honored to be part of the “2018 Wish Book” created by the San Jose Mercury News!
The article, by reporter Jason Green, shares the story of a young adult who has connected with a safe, supportive community at our LGBTQ Youth Space drop-in center in San Jose, while also shining a light on the challenges that local LGBTQ youth and young adults encounter.
During the last year, the Youth Space drop-in center had almost 5,000 visits by youth coming for peer support groups, social events, leadership development programming, help connecting with health and housing resources, and counseling services. The speakers bureau and outreach team reached more than 7,800 people, sharing information, personal stories, and tips to help create affirming, welcoming, and safe environments for all young people.
