The Back-to-School Mini-grants provide small-scale funding and technical support to help student groups, families, and educators create safe, joyful, and community-centered environments for LGBTQ+ youth. The grants are rooted in the values of the Trans Youth Emergency Project and Supportive Schools program at the Campaign for Southern Equality. Together, these initiatives reflect our commitment to ensuring that trans and LGBTQ+ youth can thrive in their home states. Our Trans Youth Emergency Project helps families of transgender youth living in states with bans on gender-affirming care continue to access the healthcare they need to thrive. But we know thriving requires support beyond access to gender-affirming healthcare. It also means learning in schools where they are safe, affirmed, and celebrated. By combining the urgent support of Trans Youth Emergency Project with the long-term vision of Supportive Schools, this program invests in both immediate relief and the creation of joyful, community-centered environments where young people and their families can flourish.
