More than $1.6 million raised for Safe Place Campaign
Safe Place Project takes a giant leap forward, as funding will help to increase health services and programs for LGBTQ+ youth, to include outdoor recreation, as well as a an endowment for maintenance of the campus following the expansion.
A celebratory groundbreaking to initiate several projects including an expanded health care clinic and a meditative Zen Garden, was held last month to benefit the LGBTQ+ youth served by JASYMN.
“At a time when anti-gay and anti-trans legislation is proliferating, particularly in the South, JASMYN is reaffirming our 28-year commitment to providing love, support, understanding and resources to LGBTQ+ youth,” said speaker and CEO, Cindy Watson.
“This expansion is a testament to the thousands who have walked through our doors feeling alone, misunderstood and rejected but who emerged with a clear understanding of their own self-worth and the confidence they needed to succeed and be everything they could be.”
