By partnering with families, schools, and communities, Live Out Loud provides resources, role models, and opportunities for LGBTQ+ youth to discover their voice and become leaders of positive change in their communities.

Founded in 2001 by Leo Preziosi, Jr., Live Out Loud connects LGBTQ+ youth with successful professionals from within the LGBTQ+ community, fostering mentorship and support networks. Through their school program, scholarships, and various events, Live Out Loud creates a safe and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ youth to express themselves fully.
