the peculiar kind ss 2: episode no. 3 (lgbt homeless youth)

November 26, 2013


The Peculiar Kind’s 3rd episode of the second season focuses on LGBT Homeless youth. Featuring Claudio, a homeless 20 something living in NYC by way of Michigan, and Kate Barnhart, executive director of New Alternatives; an LGBT homeless youth program in New York City. We hope to spread the word, inform and inspire change within the LGBT homeless youth system.

Mentoring, donating and skill sharing are just a few things we can offer our youth. Specific housing and fostering programs/options are growing but are still few and far between. Let’s actively work to change the violence, discrimination and sexual assault our LGBT homeless youth face.
