About #BAGLY - The Boston Alliance of #LGBTQ+ Youth

"In July of 1980, long before the days of community, political, or financial support, BAGLY was founded by folks who believed that an organization led by and for #queer and #TransYouth would be central to meeting the core needs of our community.

"After having served 200,000+ youth since 1980, BAGLY is recognized nationally for its pioneering role in creating, sustaining, and advocating for social support, leadership development, and health promotion programs for LGBTQ+ youth. BAGLY’s strategies have been replicated by organizations across the country, and our earliest programs (Including our Youth Speakers Bureau, youth-led HIV/AIDS education, and the nation’s first prom for LGBTQ+ youth) have provided a foundation upon which many youth-led programs and organizations are now built."
