Empower Queer Youth to Thrive in a Digital World
Now, more than ever, Maven Youth (MY) needs your support. As we work to expand our reach, we are committed to serving queer youth in communities that will be most impacted in the coming years. Our mission has always been to foster a sense of belonging, empowerment, and innovation in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth, and we're determined to scale those efforts to meet the growing needs of our community.
In 2025, in addition to our signature free summer tech camps for LGBT+ youth and allies, MY will launch monthly and weekly programming designed to serve underserved queer youth across the country. These programs will be a lifeline for our trans tech students, small-town queer youth, and college-age computer science students—communities that face unique challenges and need strong, consistent support to help them succeed. We are expanding our efforts to ensure that every queer youth, regardless of their location or background, has access to the tools, networks, and mentorship they need to thrive.
Why Your Support Matters
As a community-driven organization, MY has always prioritized creating leadership opportunities for queer youth, empowering them to lead change and drive innovation. We understand that queer youth are at the forefront of cultural shifts, and it’s essential that we give them the resources and platforms to succeed. But now, with the challenges ahead, including the increasing marginalization of LGBTQ+ youth, our work is more critical than ever.
Your support will help MY grow our vital programs, allowing us to offer new groups and programming that connect queer youth with each other and with industry professionals. Together, we will help build a stronger, more resilient queer youth tech community where young innovators can create solutions that uplift and empower their peers. Whether it's providing leadership opportunities, developing technical skills, or offering a space for queer youth to express themselves, MY is committed to being there for our community every step of the way.
The next few years will present unique challenges for queer youth, and we need your help to ensure they have the resources, connections, and opportunities to overcome them. With your support, Maven Youth can continue to lead the way in empowering LGBTQ+ youth and ensuring they have the tools to thrive, innovate, and succeed in the tech world.
Thank you for joining us in this important mission. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the future of queer youth, ensuring they have the resources they need to create, lead, and shape the world around them.
