"Our goal with 50 States. 50 Grants. 5000 Voices. is not to dictate what communities should do to create more inclusive environments for LGBTQ+ youth. Instead, we empower local LGBTQ+ youth to lead the way," Brian Wenke, executive director of It Gets Better, said. "For the past 14 years, It Gets Better has provided the resources and support for LGBTQ+ youth to dream big and achieve their goals. We are honored to help young LGBTQ+ people realize their greatest potential and make their voices heard."
"This grant program aims to put power back in the hands of LGBTQ+ students as people in positions of power threaten to strip it away," It Gets Better said in a release. The initiative not only provides funding but serves as a rallying point for youth advocacy, helping identify the leaders of tomorrow who will push for necessary changes in their communities. And as the surrounding political climate grows more hostile, these efforts become increasingly crucial.
