Why We Are Needed:
There is a glaring lack of resources for the LGBTQ+ community in rural American communities. Our aim is to serve the LGBTQ+ community in the greater Upper Great Plains community, reaching South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska and Montana. These services are costly, and we cannot do it without your help. In February 2022 we will purchase a humble location where we can administer these services and have a place to call home!
Your support will help us close on a new location and begin serving LGBTQ+ youth, individuals, and their families in an area that is a desert zone for targeted LGBTQ+ support.
Our mission is to strengthen and empower LGBTQ+ youth and individuals to overcome obstacles by providing housing, supportive counseling, community education, and advocacy.
