People Make the Place
On Sunday, November 8, 2009 Indy PFLAG is teaming up with the Indiana Youth Group and St. Luke's United Methodist Church to present this event as part of the 2009 Spirit & Place Festival, Inspiring Places.
Shared stories and experiences, as well as art by young people from Indiana Youth Group, transform a simple classroom into a wonderfully diverse community of unconditional support, security, and acceptance. Reverend Barbara Child, Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis, will lead a discussion to explore how people, more than spaces, inspire place. Read more
IYG Needs
The Indiana Youth Group (IYG) serves youth aged 12 to 21 who self-identify as gay, lesbian, transgender or questioning - and their allied friends. It offers a safe place to build self-confidence, explore individualism and develop friendships within a community that values fairness, acceptance, respect for diversity and equality.
They exist on "soft" money - grants and fund raising events. They have many needs that you might be able to help meet; everything from art supplies to dish towels to a 15-passenger van. Download their wish list (pdf file). At the bottom it explains how to contact them.
