My Love for Queer Youth Work

Over a decade ago, I founded Maven Youth, a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting queer youth through technology, creativity, and community. Since then, Maven Youth has touched the lives of hundreds of young people—creating safe spaces, building skills, and inspiring future leaders.

But my journey in queer youth work began long before Maven. For over 30 years, I’ve been deeply committed to supporting and advocating for queer youth. Through this lifelong work, I’ve had the honor of impacting thousands of young lives—many of whom had no other affirming space to grow, learn, and be themselves.

This work is my passion, my purpose—and I’m asking for your support to help me continue it.

Please consider making a donation to Maven Youth. Your contribution helps us keep doing what we do best: creating powerful, inclusive spaces where queer youth thrive.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can continue to make a difference—one young person at a time.
