Chosen Family

"The community I’ve found through We Are Family has been a sanctuary for me. It’s a place where I can be myself, grow, and dream about the future without fear." - Jamie, 15

At We Are Family, we’re building a community centered around LGBTQ+ youth. We’re called into this Chosen Family to support and uplift each other, especially our vulnerable young people.

Every program we offer is provided at no cost for LGBTQ+ youth across South Carolina. How? Because of our circle of monthly donors who make it possible.

Chosen Family Donors are the foundation of WAF’s work.

When you join Chosen Family, you become a vital part of sustaining life-affirming, cost-free programs and resources for LGBTQ+ young people across the state.
