"Big Brothers Big Sisters, Jedi Outreach Initiative"

Program Description

As part of our commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI), we proudly serve the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. We recognize the unique at-risk challenges facing many of the youth of this community: skipping school because of feeling unsafe, experiencing verbal harassment, suicidal thoughts and general feeling of hopelessness. Mentoring can help LGBTQ+ youth confront these challenges and promote positive life and educational outcomes.
