Youth Empowerment Project launches

Seattle WA – HeartStrong, Inc., is pleased to announce the launch of its Youth Empowerment Project. The Youth Empowerment Project provides educator's guides to every public, private and religious school counselor in the United States.

HeartStrong is a nonprofit social justice organization which provides support and advocacy services to GLBT students in religious schools worldwide.

Through www.heartstrong.org/HeartStrong/yep.html and on Facebook athttp://www.facebook.com/youthempowermentproject, anyone can participate in this landmark effort by providing information on school counselor’s and other public/private school educators who should receive this crucial educational information. Some recipients will receive the information via snail mail on disc while other will receive the digital version of the guide in their email boxes.

The project’s educator/counselor digikit will include an educator/counselor's guide, a copy of the modern coming out guide, “It’s Not About You: Understanding Coming Out & Self-Acceptance” and access to other valuable materials regarding issues surrounding gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth.

“I am so excited to be part of this project,” Marc Adams says. “With the unbelievable volume of bullying incidents in public, private and religious schools and the absurd number of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth being pushed onto the streets, something has to change. I believe the Youth Empowerment Project is a tremendous opportunity to address this crisis.”

“We are making it so easy for every school counselor and educator to receive this information at no cost to them,” Adams continues. “In these times, it is much easier to distribute information and we are acting on that ease. I am thrilled that my book will be viewed by so many people who need to read it.”

Students are also able to receive/request free outreach materials for peer-to-peer outreach projects.
