Why we help LGBT youth
The LGBT rights movement has come a long way, but the struggle is far from over. LGBT youth still feel isolation, ostracism and fear.

Who do we help?
Live Out Loud helps LGBT students, primarily high school students, in New York City and the tri-state area.

What are their needs?
Even though they live in one of the greatest, most progressive cities in the world, many LGBT youth still feel isolated, unsafe, and unsure of where to turn for support and advice.

What are the goals of our organization?

Until all students, teachers, and adults can lead open and honest lives, Live Out Loud aims to inspire and empower students by showing them that they have the potential to lead positive, open, and fulfilling lives.
