Mission Statement
To foster resiliency in LGBTQ+ youth and create a safe and positive school experience through support, education and empowerment.

We provide free pizza, two trained facilitators for each group, and a convenient and safe forum for LGBTQ+ youth to share what is going on in life through discussion and education.
Pizza - A favorite food among high school students. Italian in origin, made of thin bread dough spread with a spiced mixture of e.g. tomato sauce and cheese
Klatch - Is a Yiddish word for: An informal social gathering, especially for the purpose of conversation
LGBTQ+ youth will be empowered to self-advocate, build community, develop confidence, and easily access resources as they explore and develop their identities. School will be a positive and supportive space where LGBTQ+ youth are accepted and celebrated - free to learn without violence, harassment, discrimination, suicidal ideation or self-harm.
