Why We Need MJR Love
Why We Need MJR Love
As the LGBTQ+ population grows, it is essential that schools and other youth-centric environments are prepared to meet the needs of queer youth. In order for all young people to access learning environments that affirm their intersectional identities, teachers and other adults working closely with young people need adequate training.
Our Projects
MJR Love’s mission is to foster the educational empowerment of genderful (LGBTQ+) youth and allies in New York City. We aim to provide comprehensive support for aspiring and current educators to ensure they are equipped to build inclusive, affirming learning environments. We are launching two collaborative initiatives that focus on teacher development:
FLI x MJR Love
Through partnership with Future Leaders Incubator, we will develop and place transformative teachers from underrepresented backgrounds, particularly those identifying as LGBTQ+ and allies, in Title 1 public schools.
PFLAG NYC x MJR Love
Providing professional development for current educators to grow their capacity to effectively support LGBTQ+ students.
