Youthsafe.net is the first project
of the Youthsafe Resource Committee. As a committee we were formed
to address the gaps in violence prevention services offered to gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgendered and questioning youth.
The goals of the Youthsafe Resource Committee are to:
•
Promote learning, awareness
and understanding about problems that youth, with sex-and-gender
differences, face in their schools and communities;
•
Increase safety for these marginalized
youth;
•
Create greater access to services for
gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual, and questioning
youth;
•
Facilitate a means for service providers
at violence prevention agencies to be trained around issues
faced by communities with sex-and-gender differences.
