"Creative expression is one of the most powerful ways young people make sense of themselves and the world around them. At a time when LGBTQ+ youth are navigating increasing hostility and isolation, FPP is providing affirming creative spaces and meaningful mentorship that strengthens their resilience and sense of possibility."
"FPP, founded in 2017 by Ryan Amador and Celeste Lecesne, writer of the Oscar-winning short film Trevor and co-founder of The Trevor Project, has spent years quietly building a creative infrastructure for LGBTQ+ young people at a moment when such spaces are becoming harder to defend and easier to defund."
The Future Perfect Project, founded in 2017 by Ryan Amador and Celeste Lecesne, has appointed David Artavia as its new executive director. Artavia brings extensive experience from leading roles at The Advocate and Out magazine, as well as senior reporting at Yahoo News. FPP has built creative infrastructure supporting LGBTQ+ young people during a period of increasing political hostility and funding challenges. Artavia's appointment aims to expand this initiative nationally, providing affirming creative spaces and mentorship to strengthen youth resilience. Creative expression serves as a powerful tool for young people navigating their identities and the world around them, particularly amid rising isolation and hostility facing LGBTQ+ youth.
