I know on /lgbt/ it's basically heresy to take your sexuality

many are very SJW, so be careful of that. some will excommunicate you if you stray from SJW talking points. other than that, I think LGBT orgs for youth are necessary, you can help young men and women who are struggling to accept themselves :)

Yes, since the 90s. HRC is one of many organizations I've done work and contributed to annually for 17 years now.
I rarely talk about it on this board and I'm off to bed soon. But volunteering for LGBT rights is a good experience, a great way to meet other LGBT and there is still so many things left to do.
It's been 20+ years since I did any youth community work and I think it's changed a lot since those days so I can't give you details on your specific position. I'd say learn what you can from predecessors as well as various resources available online. In general for a position where you are directing youth, keeping an open mind and listening are key.

Thanks. The GSA as I understand is a nationwide standardized "chain" of high school clubs that are taking over the grassroots ones. A group of students pitched the idea and basically I would just be there to moderate. I'm not sure how much authority I'd have since that won't get finalized until August. Like I don't know if I'm allowed to teach them stuff like Stonewall/gay lib

And if you're American, OP, here's some useful youth stats for awareness:

Oops that wasn't the picture I had intended to post. The link is relevant though.

https://gsanetwork.org? Youth issues isn't my area of expertise these days, I focus more on politics and legal issues.
These kinds of organizations though typically have very clear guidelines on staff roles and responsibilities. It should either be somewhere in their documentation or clarified through their points-of-contact.

I've only been to my college's LGBT(+) resource center twice, might not go that often due to their acceptance of the "Q+". But I might walk to them once and a while for advice regarding transitioning.

I may as well be going there in Boymode too because of how many normies sit around in the commons hall.

Here's the image I meant to post. Also direct link to PDF:

It's a worthwhile read to understand LGBT youth in America. I'm off to bed, good luck with your volunteering, OP.
