An editorial perspective on the power of young LGBTQ+/SGL voices in building inclusive community.
The youth perspective at The Pride Center of Maryland is about creating a space where young LGBTQ+/SGL people are not only supported, but truly heard, valued, and empowered. It means recognizing that youth experiences are unique and that young people deserve a seat at the table when conversations are happening about their lives, safety, education, health, and future.
Youth voices bring honesty, creativity, and lived experience to the LGBTQ/SGL* community. Young people are navigating identity, relationships, school environments, mental health challenges, family acceptance, social media pressures, and community building in ways that previous generations did not experience in the same way.
At The Pride Center of Maryland, a youth-centered perspective can look like creating safe spaces, giving youth leadership opportunities, including youth in decision-making, providing mentorship and resources, encouraging creativity, and building community connections that reduce isolation and increase belonging.
