Mahoganie and Zak 2021 This year, Youth First’s annual talent show will combine with Resource Center’s back-to-school fundraiser benefiting students beginning their school year.
The virtual event happens Thursday, Aug. 19, beginning at 6 p.m. “LGBTQ youth need a community that tells them they are seen, valued, and matter,” said event co-chair Mahoganie Gaston. “They often don’t feel like they fit in today’s society.
Whether it’s at school or at home, they often lose their voice.” Youth First is one of the only LGBTQ-focused programs in North Texas that addresses the challenges LGBTQ teens, ages 12-18, face at home, school and in the community.
