This is an all-ages event to support at-risk LGBTQ youth in our communities, and proceeds will go towards counseling, support groups, crisis intervention and suicide prevention services.
 

The Serious Moonlight Benefit Concert will raise funds to help at-risk LGBTQ youth in our communities, and the money will be donated to 2 organizations: The Trevor Project, the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth, and MN School OUTreach, a coalition of Minnesota students, educators, families, community members, and organizations working within the schools to address the issues of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.

 

Our mission is to raise money and raise awareness for at-risk youth in the western suburbs, as there are very limited crisis intervention services outside of the Twin Cities.  This is a chance to give back to the community and help create healthy learning environments that are inclusive, supportive, safe, and where dual orientation and gender identity / expressions are respected.

A LITTLE ABOUT MNSOC:

We are a coalition of Minnesota students, educators, families, community members, and organizations working within the broad context of schools to address the issues of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.

We organize 4 annual events to provide resources and spaces that are safe for the LGBTQ community.  Our largest event every year is Q-Quest which is a 2 day youth conference every fall filled with workshops, entertainment, resource fair, and an open mic opportunity. Each year we have grown in numbers: in 2016 we served over 600 attendees. We also host Queer Prom (Mid-April), Youth Pride (End of May/ Early June), and support Camp One Heartland with programming for Camp True Colors (a camp just for LGBTQ identified young people that runs on a sliding fee scale to make it accessible to all).

Outside of our youth events we also offer quarterly workshops where professionals, community members, local organizations, students, and families, can attend to network, build their skills, gain more resources, and see what else they can learn/ do to better serve our LGBTQ young people.

Founded in 1998 by the creators of the Academy Award®-winning short film TREVOR, The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ young people ages 13-24. Every day, The Trevor Project saves young lives through its accredited, free and confidential phone, instant message and text messaging crisis intervention services. A leader and innovator in suicide prevention, The Trevor Project offers the largest safe social networking community for LGBTQ youth, best practice suicide prevention educational trainings, resources for youth and adults, and advocacy initiatives.
