American Friends Service Committee - GLBTQ Youth Program
Founded by Quakers in 1917 to provide conscientious objectors with an opportunity to aid civilian war victims, AFSC's work attracts the support and partnership of people of many races, religions, and
cultures.
AFSC's work is based on the Quaker belief in the worth of every person and faith in the power of love to overcome violence and injustice. The organization's mission and achievements won worldwide recognition in 1947 when it accepted the Nobel Peace Prize with the British Friends Service Council on behalf of all Quakers.
The AFSC is directed by a Quaker board and staffed by Quakers and other people of faith who share the Friends' desire for peace and social justice.
The GLBTQ Youth Program develops the leadership of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth through internships, experiential learning and community involvement. The GLBTQ Youth Speakers Bureau
educates youth and youth serving agencies on the special needs and concerns of GLBT youth.
