Coalition for Queer Youth recently launched Testimony, a creative exhibition honoring the experiences of queer young people from all around the world and we would love to include voices from Out Now! Coalition for Queer Youth is based in New York and we are a partnership between young people, service providers, activists and allies dedicated to using creative forms of education advocacy and empowerment to increase community support for LGBTQ youth.

Testimony invites LGBTQ-identified young people and adults to submit creative projects that represent what it’s like to be young and queer from their unique perspective. It is a space to tell our stories in our voices, to connect with others, to document our history, to spark dialogue and to create change. Coalition for Queer Youth believes that art is an amazing tool for empowerment, education and advocacy and we hope that Testimony will serve as a new way to engage and unify the community in support of queer youth.

Please join us in celebrating this project by sharing your Testimony and telling others about it in any way you can! Our goal is to include as many voices as possible, so submissions are welcome on an ongoing basis.

Check out Testimony. We would love to hear your thoughts It is also important to us to connect and share ideas with people who are doing AMAZING work with queer youth, so let’s stay in touch!

Best from all of us at Coalition for Queer Youth,
