Miscellaneous
True Colors, Inc.
"Our names are Kim Sprong and Katy Annulli. We are currently interning at True Colors, Inc. and are students at Central Connecticut State University and University of Connecticut, respectively. True Colors Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides support, advocacy, and training on behalf of Connecticut's LGBTI youth. Currently True Colors is revising their resource guide with an emphasis on inclusion of all niches of the LGBTI community. Our goal is to bring together all the possible resources that are available so that they can be utilized by those who use our resource guide for the sake of helping youth. Now here is where you come in. We are looking for feedback and ideas of other groups, programs, culture, and anything that would provide a positive atmosphere for LBGTI youth, both regionally and nationally. Do you know of a particularly accepting church, support group, or cultural arts center? If you could take a few minutes to view our downloadable resource guide at
http://ourtruecolors.org/cfs/TC15/TC15ResourceGuide.pdf and provide feedback to let us know what we are missing out on. Any information you provide helps True Colors and others who serve Connecticut's LGBTI youth to provide the best service they can. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration."
