We are launching a more focused program for New Mexico youth in 2025. Organizations like Eric Oppenheimer Family Foundation, Frost Foundation and Modern Elder Academy are already on board, and together we're committed to raising the bar for GUTF in connections, education, inspiration, and engagement of resources. In partnership we can impact 900 Queer youth in NM over the next 3 years.
Every young person deserves to grow up feeling safe, seen, and hopeful. We need partners and champions to help us raise awareness of this free lifeline.Learn more about how to get involved and support Give Us The Floor with a one-time or recurring donation on our website at giveusthefloor.org.
