Much of Live Out Loud’s programming is focused around keeping LGBTQ+ youth in school, supporting them through graduation from high school, and motivating them to go on to college or pursue a professional career – all the while, feeling confident and empowered to live proud and out loud with their families, friends, and peers.

Our programs forge crucial connections between youth and role models through innovative, hands-on initiatives that include bringing positive LGBTQ+ role models into classrooms and schools; bringing LGBTQ+ youth into workplaces to meet LGBTQ+ professionals from all walks of life; and providing financial and mentoring support to young scholars and leaders.

All of our programs focus on providing targeted education to LGBTQ+ youth in order to build their awareness of the LGBTQ+ movement and build their sense of self, pride, and purpose.
