THE TRAVELING RAINBOW PROJECT
The Traveling Rainbow Project works to improve mental health outcomes for LGBTQ+ Teens in Passamaquoddy Homeland/Eastern Maine. We do this by improving Allyship community wide, as well as providing direct support to teens. Close to 30% of Maine High School Students identify as LGBTQ+ or Questioning; these teens are 3-4 times as likely to consider suicide as their heterosexual identifying peers. The Traveling Rainbow Project looks to address this public health crisis by supporting administrations, teens and organizations in stepping up to the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ Support Systems in a Rural Community. Also we are grant funded and do this at no cost to our clients.

“We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light a candle that can guide us through the darkness to a safe and sure future. For the world is changing. The old era is ending. The old ways will not do.” -John F. Kennedy, Jr.
