STORIES

The young adults at the Ali Forney Center are all homeless, as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans. Beyond these connectors, though, they are distinct individuals, each with a story to tell. Through a special writing-as-therapy program, led by both staff members and volunteers who work in the publishing field, our youth are in the brave process of telling their tales. This newsletter, which will be periodically updated, is the cherished result.
