Empowering Queer Young People

A B.A.G. of inclusion is a project that empowers young workers to support Queer Young People on body and gender issues, especially online. We promote inclusion, diversity, and innovation in youth work to help QYP develop their identities


Inclusion and Diversity

At A B.A.G. of inclusion, we train youth workers to support queer youth on body and gender issues, promoting inclusion and diversity in digital environments.

A group of people gathered, with one person holding a cardboard sign that reads 'Follow us on Insta: transqueer youth.nola meet 2x a month!' The person has rainbow face paint and is wearing a cape with a rainbow pattern and a shirt that says 'Protect Queer Kids.' A young child beside them with rainbow face paint is also present. Other individuals in the background are standing or sitting, and some hold signs.
