Colin Higgins Foundation Seeks Nominations for Youth Courage Awards
Deadline: March 1, 2010
The Colin Higgins Foundation is accepting nominations for its annual Youth Courage Awards. Through these annual awards, the foundation salutes LGBTQ youth who demonstrate courage in the face of adversity and discrimination based on gender and/or sexual orientation.
In 2010, three honorees will each receive a $10,000 grant to be presented in New York City at the Trevor Project Benefit Gala in June. Honorees will also receive an expense-paid trip to the 2011 National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Creating Change Conference.
The award program seeks nominations of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit, and Queer youth (through the age of 21) who have bravely stood up to hostility and intolerance based on their gender and/or sexual orientation and triumphed over bigotry through working for LGBTQ rights and social justice.
Nominees must be 21 or under and must be U.S. citizens. Self-nominations are not accepted.
Complete program guidelines and nomination forms are available at the foundation’s Web site.
