Matthew Shepard Foundation

Youth & Students · Hawaii · Free

Erasing hate by replacing it with understanding, compassion, and acceptance. A starting point for parents whose child just came out and they're not sure what comes next. Many programs offer free trainings for teachers, counselors, and administrators on creating affirming classrooms. Title IX protections cover LGBTQ+ students at any school receiving federal funding — including private religious schools with federal aid. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
