Help Granite Pride New Hampshire Uplift LGBTQ2S Youth

Granite Pride New Hampshire was founded in 2024 by Harvey Feldman and Jess Smith, as an affirming physical and virtual space for LGBTQIA2S+ youth under 22 years old in southern New Hampshire, and through the state. Granite Pride New Hampshire is committed to life-saving advocacy, education and support in protection of LGBTQIA2S+ youth, as well as other marginalized communities. GPNH recognizes the unique challenges facing sexual and gender minority youth, their families, and their allies. In response to this, GPNH offers multiple services, including psycho-education and support groups, supported pro-social activities, and help in connecting to community resources.

We have signed a lease for a beautiful physical space in downtown Concord, and are planning to open in January 2025. All funds raised will be used to create the place queer youth need- we will offer therapy groups for youth and parents, a space for training, social groups, drop in time, art, and other events and activities. More detail is below:

-Furniture, wall decor and necessary repairs

-Books, games and art supplies

-Supplies for gender affirming closet

-Website and online presence

-Advertising

As a start-up, we are looking to community, as well as friends and family, to help support our mission and vision. We'd be honored if you would consider a small donation. We thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts!
