NYC Unity Project - 1st Citywide Empowerment for LGBTQ Youth

The NYC Unity Project is the first-ever focused, citywide commitment to supporting and empowering LGBTQ young people.

Through the project, you can find organizations and city services supporting LGBTQ youth in the following areas:

  • Family supports
  • Health care and wellness
  • Housing
  • Employment
  • Healthy relationship

Statistically, NYC’s LGBTQ youth fare better than their peers in other cities. But even in NYC, many vulnerable LGBTQ young people fall through the cracks and continue to struggle as a result of discrimination, rejection, and mistreatment.

Even while facing these struggles, LGBTQ young people remain brilliant and resilient. The NYC Unity Project’s goal is to build and strengthen our city’s programs so that LGBTQ young people are free to not only survive, but grow and thrive.
