Fund Black Appalachian Futures

The STAY Project is proud to support the Black Appalachian Young and Rising Gathering! This is a project for Black Appalachian Youth by Black Appalachian Youth, some of whom are members and leaders in STAY and some of whom have no affiliation with STAY.

The STAY Project's role in the Black Appalachian Young and Rising Gathering is to leverage what connections we have built as an organization over the last 10 years to hand over resources and support (specifically financial resources and support) to Black Appalachian Youth and then to step aside. Since STAY's inception we have said that it is our goal to support youth leadership, particularly from Black/LGBTQIA youth in Appalachia –we have and continue to provide life-changing spaces for white LGBTQIA youth, but we have in many ways failed to embody our commitment to Black youth. Supporting this gathering is not only an attempt to rectify a wrong but to actually live out STAY's commitment to the leadership of Black Appalachian youth within STAY leadership/membership and outside of it because we fully believe that we cannot win if we do not support and flank Black youth leadership in Appalachia.

We are asking you to invest in Black Youth leadership by helping them meet their $10,000 goal before October of 2019.

All donations made through the donation platform will go directly to the Black Appalachian Young and Rising Gathering.
