Dear OUTreach friend,
We are energized for a new year of making a difference, now! We hope that you will join with us, where ever you are - standing up and speaking out on behalf of some of the most vulnerable among us: LGBT youth in Utah. Your voice makes a difference in the world, and your actions speak volumes!
We hope you will be a part of what we are doing to start the new year: two watch parties for Jackson Carter, a community forum on LGBT homeless youth, a training evening for new and seasoned volunteers and a special fund raiser with our dear friends from Plan-B Theater.
Wishing you a New Year filled with love, happiness and hope as we work together to create a world where ALL youth are safe, happy and loved!
Marian Edmonds, Executive Director
OUTreach Resource Center
