Both organizations are deeply committed to uplifting youth voices from across the Commonwealth, inviting youth from across the state to engage and attend.

ABOUT BAGLY:

For nearly 50 years, BAGLY (Boston Alliance for LGBTQ+ Youth) has been a youth-led, adult-supported organization committed to social justice, and creating, sustaining and advocating for programs, policies and services for the LGBTQ+ youth community in Massachusetts.

At our core we are here to support queer and trans youth to become happy and healthy adults. We're proud to offer three innovative programs and thousands of events, activities, and opportunities every year for thousands of LGBTQ+ youth as they take , take , and take .

ABOUT MCLGBTQY:

The Commission was originally founded in 1992 by Governor William Weld. The original Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth was designed to respond to high suicide risk among gay and lesbian youth in the Commonwealth. That original Commission transformed in 2006 into an independent state agency established by law. Today, we are the Commission on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning (LGBTQ) Youth.The Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ youth advises others in state government on effective policies, programs, and resources for LGBTQ youth.
