All it took was one small moment to change everything.

When Chris met TaskForce, he found a community that saw him for all of who he is — and now, he’s helping ensure LGBTQ+ youth of color across Chicago can feel that same sense of belonging.

Read Chris’s story and help us reach our $10,000 end-of-year fundraising goal before December 31. Every gift brings us closer to a future where our youth can grow up happy, healthy, and supported.
