Story
GLYS Western New York Inc. is dedicated to serving LGBTQ+ youth, ages 5-21 in all eight counties of Western New York. GLYS provides a positive environment for LGBTQ+ youth to learn more about themselves through peer interaction and educational experiences. Through GLYS outreach, other agencies learn about and increase their sensitivity to the needs of gender and sexual minority youth. GLYS also assists youth and their families by providing resources and referrals for emotional growth.
Each year, at our annual GAYLA, GLYS celebrates the community that makes our outreach and youth programming possible through their support and donations. We hold an award ceremony that honors members of the community that have supported GLYS and its mission. This years Honorary Chair is UB Womens Basketball Coach, Rebecca Burke. Other award winners include: The Buffalo Niagara LGBTQ History Project, Diana Patton, Holly Park, Rebecca Buell, Nikolai Cherkis, and Rin Parrack!
