Dear friends,
Just a few days past the Thanksgiving holiday, I’m reminded of how grateful I am for organizations like True Colors United that provide vital support and services to LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. This #GivingTuesday, I hope you’ll join me in supporting this life-changing work.
As the nation’s leading organization implementing solutions to LGBTQ+ youth homelessness, True Colors United is:
- Training service providers nationwide to be culturally competent, ensuring youth experiencing homelessness have access to safe, affirming services and programming
- Advocating for policies on both local and national levels that prevent homelessness and uplift LGBTQ+ youth voices
- Working alongside youth leaders to better the very systems they were once a part of, focusing on important matters like ending the foster care-to-homelessness trajectory far too many young people experience
A staggering 40% of youth experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQ+, often due to family rejection and societal discrimination. With your help, True Colors United can continue to be there with open arms when young people have nowhere else to turn.
This Giving Tuesday, a generous member of our True Colors community has agreed to match donations—doubling your impact! Simply click here to make your tax-deductible gift TODAY.
Together, we can create a brighter future for LGBTQ+ young people nationwide by ensuring they have a safe place to call home and the opportunity to thrive.
With gratitude,

Interim Co-CEO
