My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a volunteer as well as the Chair of the Board of Directors for GLBT Advocacy & Youth Services, Inc. I currently moderate the transgender support group that was the North Alabama Gender Center and is now a part of GLBT Advocacy & Youth Services, Inc. I first learned of the organization as it was forming and knew that I had to help. I immediately became a volunteer for the youth support group in addition to the transgender support group and share my knowledge and experience where needed.

Youth today face enough troubles without being shown intolerance or bullied because they are or perceived as being GLBT. Being in the South where religion sometimes shows its extremism, kids are often thrown out of their homes if they come out as GLBT and often have no where to go. That's where we step in as an advocate.

In the few years we have been around, we have expanded our services immensely. We have been grateful to the Spirit of the Cross church here in Huntsville for donating their hall for our groups and now that we have our own space, Our Space Community Center, we continue to grow. Besides the youth and transgender support groups, we have a Host Home Program, AA support group, breast cancer support group and caregivers support group, craft circle, just to name a few.

Please consider donating your time and money to help this organization continue to grow by supporting and advocating for our community.
