The Ruth Ellis Center has received another round of funding from the Arcus Foundation. Craig speaks with the center's Executive Director, Laura Hughes and Frank, a teen who uses the center. Hughes says "The Ruth Ellis Center is able to continue the advocacy work begun in 2011 through a second $100,000 grant from the Arcus Foundation. The grant will fund the center’s work in the Out in the System Leadership Program, which leverages the influential voices of lesbian, gay, bi-attractional, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth to become involved in civic engagement, social action and advocacy training with a specific emphasis on the Children’s Welfare System".
Ruth Ellis Center is the Midwest’s only organization and one of four in the nation that is solely dedicated to serving homeless, at-risk and runaway LGBTQ youth.
