Founded in 1993, The Laurel Foundation’s cost-free educational and support camp programs impact the lives of over 503 transgender / gender-diverse youth, and vulnerable youth at risk of HIV each year. Our programs are a powerful antidote to the challenges of living with an illness or facing social isolation issues, by improving the well-being of the youth, bringing a sense of hope and joy to those we serve.
