Youth at BAGLY

Since BAGLY was founded over 40 years ago, it has been designed by and for youth. Today, BAGLY youth provide vision and direction for all of BAGLY's programming, and they use their voices, skills, and experiences to develop community leadership. 

Youth Leadership Committee (YLC)

The Youth Leadership Committee (14-22 years old) is a group of young people at BAGLY who develop and implement social support programming for their peers. Designed by and for youth, this programming includes activity-based, interest-led, and affinity meetings, events, and workshops. The YLC is grounded in the values of community, accessibility, and accountability.

Peer Internships

Peer Interns (18-25 years old) are employed at BAGLY to gain professional experience at a community-based non-profit organization. BAGLY offers peer internships in the following areas: the Development & Marketing team, the Health & Wellness program, the Stabilization & Success program, and the Youth Leadership & Advocacy program. Peer interns support the organization’s essential work; practice peer leadership as representatives of BAGLY; and develop workforce readiness for LGBTQ+ young people, who disproportionately encounter barriers to entry in career planning and preparation.
