Are you a youth age 14-23? Do you need a place to help find resources, get advice, talk to a friend or just relax? Safe Homes provides support for GLBTQ youth and their straight allies between the ages of 14-23. Young people at Safe Homes come from Worcester and surrounding towns. Some are still in high school or college, and some have jobs or attend work-training programs. Though we all come from different experiences and backgrounds, we are united in our support of one another.
Why do young people come to Safe Homes? Well, they come for many different reasons. Some need support and advocacy around GLBTQ issues as they try to change things in their homes and schools. Others need encouragement and seek advice from adult advisors at the program. Our peer leadership program offers young people the opportunity to become involved in the decision making process, while providing a sense of pride and ownership of the program.
We always welcome new faces, and hope to see you soon!
