positively impacts the health and wellness of LGBTQ+ students nationally. We are especially supportive of
students who have not been permitted to organize within their school settings.​
OBJECTIVES
-

-
Offer the latest news on student efforts to create Gay Straight Alliances and similar organizations.
-
Providing resources on organizations that support LGBTQ+ youth.
FOUNDER
Ethan Grey Scott
Ethan Grey Scott is currently a sophomore at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. He's from Charlotte, North Carolina. Through his academic journey, Ethan has had an emotional and heartfelt passion for establishing a Gay Straight Alliance club within his school. With the rise of Covid-19 at our doorsteps, he felt pulled to create a virtual space where LGBTQ+ youth could safely connect and support one another. Though similar adult led platforms exist, Ethan thought it was important to create a platform for youth, by youth. His goals include creating a platform where youth in non-supportive educational environments and those who reside in rural areas who lack local resources can find a virtual community. Help him denounce discrimination and the injustice towards LGBTQ+ youth everywhere.
