We have selected an Intern to develop a Peer Mentor Program (PMP) for trans youth. The Intern was selected from a pool of 7 excellent candidates. Quinn Elliott will begin work September 11th, 2012. Stay tuned for a blog post about Quinn. The remaining 6 have shown interest in participating as advisers during development and likely Peer Mentors for the program launch Summer or Fall 2013.
We have received two in-kind donations to support the Internship:
- Office space at GLCC Pittsburgh by Persad Center (http://www.persadcenter.org/);
- Laptop from PalominoDB (http://palominodb.com/).
Fabulous 5 needs 2 more donors. Become one of the five people who commit to donate $100/month for 10 months. You are making it possible to pay a talented trans youth a good wage while developing professional skills and creating a Peer Mentor Program!
