Find Us at Pride in Your Community This Year
We’re excited to participate in two major Pride festivals this year: Boston Pride for the People in Boston and North Shore Pride in Salem!

Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth in Foster Care this Pride Month
Did you know that one of the best ways you can support LGBTQ+ youth is by becoming a foster parent? If you’re interested in learning more about how you can make a real difference for LGBTQ+ youth, join us on Zoom on Thursday, June 15 for a virtual informational session about foster care!

How Do We Help LGBTQ+ Youth In Foster Care When There Are No LGBTQ+ Adults Around Them?
Though Massachusetts has made some positive gains for LGBTQ+ people, it hasn’t translated to better outcomes for youth, especially those in foster care. But we can change these inequalities when we welcome and involve LGBTQ+ foster families and social workers more in the child welfare system.

Showing Up for Pride
The Boston community couldn’t gather for Pride this year, but that didn’t stop us from celebrating Pride Month!
