Invest in Queer Youth's Futures

Now more than ever, we need to support our queer youth in our communities. In particular, impoverished and colored queer youth, struggle to access the same resources as their counterparts. With today's climate, it becomes difficult to navigate getting ahead in life. Maven Youth provides basic job preparation and tech skills needed to succeed in a career.

Maven makes space for those who would struggle to access these resources and connections for queer youth and their allies. To keep our camps free, we need to raise $25,000 this year. The funds will go towards keeping the camps running and providing the resources necessary at no cost to those who may already be struggling financially. If you can commit to a donation of $25, we can reach our goal together. 

Our queer youth are our future of tomorrow. Our camps are life-changing for the youth who attend, amazingly. I can share that I have discovered my love for the career paths I've gone down in cybersecurity and teaching because of the experiences I've had at Maven, on top of getting the training and networking for the respective careers.

My story is one of many. More than anything, Maven teaches us you can be authentic and queer in the tech industry despite what most may think, and that's a message a lot of people need right now. If you're looking for a way to make a change, this is your sign.
