While Executive Director, Chase Norris, was completing his Master’s in Counselor Education, he started an LGBT+ Youth group at his internship site. As Chase’s LGBT+ youth group was becoming more populated. Each week he worked with these young adults who were struggling with so much, but yet, so brave. As graduation was getting closer & Chase’s time with these kids was coming to end, he could not fathom the idea of “abandoning” them. In one of their remaining groups, he asked the kids, “If you could have any resource available to you, what would you want?” In unison, they replied, “A safe place for us to go.”
