Summary:

Foster kids deserve to have all their needs met. But that can be especially challenging for LGBTQ+ youth, who make up about 30% of the population in foster care. According to Oregon’s Department of Human Services, one of the best resources to meet these needs is Lewis & Clark’s TransActive Gender Project, which proudly provides services and supports for these kids and the families that love them.
