Youth Enrichment Services (YES) Program Gains National Television Spotlight
On Wednesday, December 29, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center’s Youth Enrichment Services (YES) Program was featured on the nationally syndicated The Nate Berkus Show in an episode tied to the string of recent gay bullying cases and suicides, entitled “Rebuilding Home After Tragedy.” After meeting and talking with teens at the Center, Nate Berkus made the announcement that he would make over the YES lobby. The one-hour episode included interviews with several of the Center’s inspirational young people, Wendy Walsh, the mother of the 13-year-old Seth, who committed suicide after being bullied because he was gay, Seth’s brother Shawn and an intimate conversation and performance by country music star Chely Wright. The Center was proud to be part of this groundbreaking episode that showcased the vital importance of our youth program in stopping bullying related suicides. We also send a heartfelt thank you to The Nate Berkus Show for transforming our youth space.
