Serve! is gearing up for its latest six-month Experience This! program starting November 5th. A team of diverse youth aged 17-24 will engage in a full-time program with activities and projects which focus on personal growth, teamwork, and community involvement.

A key component of this program will involve a special project, ”Don’t Just Sit There, Stand Up Together.” which involves initiatives by youth, for youth, designed to prevent discrimination and hate-motivated violence/crime targeted to the LGBTTTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirited, queer & questioning) communities. Over the six-month duration of the program, youth participants will organize a public education and awareness campaign and create and produce a resource kit for youth to prevent discrimination and homophobia.

The program will go from November 2007 to April 2008.
