June 11th: MCCNY Homeless Youth Services’ Sylvia’s Place Benefit

MCCNY Homeless Youth Services’ Sylvia’s Place is a home away from home for LGBTQ youth seeking anything from counseling and job training to a warm meal & safe place to sleep at night.

Due to government cuts in spending, funding for Sylvia’s place has been cut in half over recent years.  Please join them on June 11th to help raise funds to keep this establishment running.

Where:  Contemporary Art Gallery
580 8th Avenue
5th Floor
New York, NY

Cocktails will be served beginning at 7:30 P.M. Speakers will include:
~Lucky Michaels, Director, MCCNY Homeless Youth Services
~Shawn Tierney, Youth Services Coordinator, LIGALY
~Tanino Minecci, Social Worker, MCCNY Homeless Youth Services
~Sylvia’s Place Alumni

Most of us expect our family to accept us and care for us unconditionally. There are some out there who are not granted the same fortune. Every day, hundreds, if not thousands, of youth are rejected by their own families after their sexual orientation is revealed. These youth can become victims of abuse and feel compelled to runaway or forced out of their homes. To futher their hardships, these youths are often turned away or feel threatened in ordinary shelters. With the help of people like you, we can make the difference in their lives.

If you can’t make it to the event but would still like to contribute, please follow this link:
