My Nonprofit Reviews

After hearing about yet another young gay man who killed himself after being bullied by his peers, I knew I had to re-involve myself in the effort to create an environment where lgbtq individuals feel accepted and valued. The North County LGBTQ Resource Center - then known as the N. Cty. LGBTQ Coalition - was the perfect vehicle for me to do so. I volunteered for the organization's Project Youth Committee and met a group of enthusiastic individuals committed to building support in an area of San Diego County where such support has been largely absent. We opened the doors of our new Resource Center last December and within six months, have over 90 volunteers and hundreds of visitors every month (over 700 in June!). Our growth as an organization has been amazing to see and I feel very fortunate to be a part of something that is clearly making a difference in people's lives.
