PRO Youth and Families confronts the trauma youth, families, and communities face by inspiring, educating, and mobilizing youth.

We make a difference by keeping young people off the streets, out of prison and away from alcohol, drugs and gangs by giving them meaningful and life-changing opportunities.

We are committed to strengthening youth and their families and communities by developing neighborhood networks, identifying and addressing needs, and by providing training and other resources that will make that happen.

Big Brothers Big Sisters provides a one-to-one friendship to boys and girls ages 8-14, primarily from single-parent homes.

Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is a very rewarding and enjoyable thing. It's easy, too. Your Little can join you for the kinds of activities you already like to do, such as: shooting hoops, playing a board game, sharing a pizza, taking a walk in the park or just hanging out and talking. Just 6-12 hours a month can change a young person's life. Depending on the Big Brothers Big Sisters program you're in, you will meet your Little at his or her school or in the community.

Big Brother Big Sister makes matches based on compatibility, location, and other preferences. Little Brothers and Little Sisters come from all kinds of backgrounds. Some are really little (as young as seven) and some are teenagers. Some may live on your block and some a few miles away. What do they all have in common? They need the friendship and guidance of someone like YOU.

Genders & Sexualities Alliances, or GSAs for short, are student-run organizations that unite LGBTQ+ and allied youth to build community and organize around issues impacting them in their schools and communities. GSAs have evolved beyond their traditional role to serve as safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth in middle schools and high schools, and have emerged as vehicles for deep social change related to racial, gender, and educational justice.

There are 3 different types of GSAs—all of which can directly impact LGBTQ+ youth: Social, Support, and Activist. Every GSA can create its own mission and goals to meet the needs of its members and the unique climate of their school.

• Social GSAs — Students meet and connect with other trans and queer students on campus

• Support GSAs — Students work to create safe spaces and talk about the various issues they face in school or their broader communities, such as discrimination from teachers or school administrators

• Activist GSAs — Student…
