Pride and Joy: Foster Care for LGBTQ Youth
Thousands of children and youth are in foster care in the Bay Area. A disproportionate number of them are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer identified. They are often invisible or rejected by their birth and foster families. We need people- gay and straight, young and old, couples and singles- to open their hearts and homes. Family Builders is currently recruiting families for its Pride and Joy program, a foster care program for LGBTQ youth, and St. John the Evangelist Church, San Francisco, is hosting a forum with Charles Lerner, Coordinator of Pride and Joy, where you can learn more about the program.
When: Sunday, September 21, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Where: St. John the Evangelist, San Francisco, corner of Fifteenth and Julian Streets
Cost: Free
Contact: Charles Lerner, clerner@familybuilders.org or the Rev. John Kirkley, rector@saintjohnsf.org
