One year ago, Live Out Loud launched The Homecoming Project, a major new program that brings lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) leaders back to their high schools to share their personal stories and life lessons with today's students.

The program is already making a major impact. Leaders like Oscar winner Lance Black ("Milk") and former GLAAD president Neil Giuliano have returned to their high schools, making a lasting impression on thousands of students and inspiring schools.

At the Annual Young Trailblazers Benefit Gala in April, Live Out Loud honored four LGBT high school seniors with $2500 scholarships in recognition of their outstanding leadership.

With the generous support of the Live Out Loud community, these four young adults are now beginning their college careers, and we are excited to bring you an update on their activities.

In a Grassroots initiative, Live Out Loud encourages successful gay role models to revisit their high schools to connect with LGBT Youth and talk with students about their experiences that have led them to their open, affirmed and successful lives.

The success of this project relies solely on the active involvement of volunteers and their desire to make a difference in the lives of those who are struggling with the challenges of growing up gay.
