EINY – IT GETS BETTER PROJECT
Update: March 2, 2018
As you may know, the Community Service Club planned a Carnations Sale to celebrate Valentines Day.
Students and staff had the opportunity of buying carnations and addressing them to their peers or colleagues, to wish them a happy Valentine’s Day. The project was a huge success, and it raised over $1000 for the It Gets Better Project!
The It Gets Better Project is a nonprofit organization with a mission to uplift, empower, and connect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth around the globe. As their mission states, « Growing up isn’t easy, especially when you are trying to affirm and assert your sexual orientation and/or gender identity. This project is determined to help all LGBTQ+ youth around the world. »
The Community Service Club thanks you for all of your help in making this project a big success!
