Welcome

A note from Glennda Testone and Tim Chow.

2015 was a year of accomplishments for the LGBT community.

Revisit highlights from the past year, and learn about what we’re looking forward to in 2016.

One of our biggest milestones was the launch of our youth substance use treatment program—the first program of its kind. We’re helping LGBT youth, like Momo, to be true to themselves.

Hear Momo’s Story

But we couldn’t have done it without your support.

Thank you for making our work possible.
