We recognize the importance of language and its impact on inclusivity and representation.  We acknowledge that our organizational name reflects the gender binary and does not fully honor the experiences of trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals. However, BBBSPY is deeply committed to creating an inclusive and affirming environment where all identities are reflected in the work we do. We proudly welcome 2SLGBTQIA+ Mentors, Mentees, and staff members, and we are dedicated to advancing the development of PRISM—a service created by and for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
