Dear Fellow Pride Supporter, 

Last year we shared family’s story and the impact Youth Services had on us when we were looking for a place where he could connect with kids like him. He was an enthusiastic member of the Youth Services Pride program for three years. In that time, he blossomed and connected with his peers in ways that have changed his life. We have seen the critical impact this organization has had on our child and the resources they have offered our family.  

Now Max is finishing up his first year at college – something Youth Services made possible. While he’s no longer in the program, we know that it’s more important than ever for these opportunities to be available to our community.  

Last year we came to an important realization: we had not paid anything for the Pride programs that changed Max’s life and ours. 

I asked Youth Services why they had never asked me for a donation and, while I respect that they shy away from asking participant parents for contributions, I also realize there are many parents and allies who would happily make a donation to support these incredible programs. You KNOW how important Youth Services opportunities and programs are for LGBTQ+ youth and their families.

Today I am asking you again to help keep these vibrant programs accessible and support the staff who run them. My husband and I have continued to give through a recurring monthly donation to the agency for $50 each month. Have you made your commitment yet?  

Will you invest in Youth Services and allow the agency to grow programs to meet the evolving needs of all LGBTQ+ youth and ensure that every barrier is removed for them to access these programs? 

Join the Funk Family as we make this commitment. You can click here to make your recurring donation. Simply set the amount you would like to donate and the specific recurrence and know you are making a true difference. You may also choose to make a one time donation. 

Thank you for joining us as we celebrate Youth Services and this crucial month of Pride! 

Sincerely, 

Amy and Andrew Funk
