Do you live in the San Francisco Bay Area? Are you between the ages of 13 and 18? Do you have one or more lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer parent? Do you want to make a difference? Then YLAP is for you!

Be a part of the COLAGE Youth Leadership and Action Program (YLAP) - a group for youth with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender parents ages 13-18. The program offers participants a chance to gain skills and experience in activism, media, public speaking, program development, and more while being able to connect with others with similar experiences.
