 ce as an out queer professional\n\n- dealing with bullies\n\n- whatever is
  on your mind!\n\n\nSo if you are an Asian\, South Asian\, or Pacific Isla
 nder LGBTQ young person who is interested in GAYME\, come join us! Our fir

 \n\nWhat? Project Connect has a Twitter?? Follow us! @ProjConnect \n\nProj
 ect Connect was created by APICHA  to increase access and improve the qual
 ity of health and human services to Asian & Pacific Islander (A&PI) LGBTQI
  folks\, address homophobia and raise awareness of and support for A&PI LG
 BTQI\, and empower A&PI LGBTQI individuals and families\, ultimately impro
 ving the overall health and well-being of individuals as well as thecommun
 ity at large.\n\nGAYME Youth Mentorship\n\nProject Connect’s youth initi
 ative\, GAYME (GLBTQI A&PI Youth Mentorship for   Empowerment)\, connects 
 LGBTQI A&PI youth with other youth and adults to share their experiences. 
 GAYME departs from the traditional one-on-one mentorship style\, utilizing
  an informal\, topic-based group workshop method preferred by LGBTQI A&PI 
 youth. These groups will allow youth and mentors to draw upon an array of 
 different experiences to cultivate understanding and build a supportive co
 mmunity. Session topics are concerns identified by LGBTQI A&PI youth and i
 nclude: self-image\, acceptance of multiple identities\, coming out\, body
  image\, budgeting\, getting into college\, affording college\, career pat
 hs\, and finding jobs/job security.\n
