π Spreading Love, Acceptance, and Pride from Youngstown State University this Pride Month!
Pride Month serves as a reminder that love is love, and everyone deserves to be respected and celebrated for who they are. It's a time to honor the achievements and contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals throughout history and to continue advocating for equality and human rights. May this Pride Month be filled with joy, love, and acceptance for all members of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as their allies. Stay tuned for events happening on campus through out the month!
The YSU LGBTQ+ Alumni Chapter set up the Student Emergency Fund in 2021 to foster equity at YSU for current students that identify as LGBTQ and are experiencing a financial hardship. The focus is to bridge the socioeconomic gap that exists for students who are disenfranchised due to factors beyond their control. This assistance provides a more equitable opportunity to obtain an education and advance toward goals of stability and self-sufficiency.
The YSU Dean of Students Office advises students of resources available to them and administers the fund. Assistance continues to be provided and donations to the fund are greatly appreciated. If you would like to donate, visit the YSU Foundation link below, click "Other" for your gift designation, and type "LGBTQ+ Student Emergency Fund" in the gift details box. Thank you for your generosity toward helping Penguins in need! https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E154574&id=64
Happy 2023! Hope the year to come brings you all happiness and joy. Looking forward to connecting more through new events and opportunities!
Weβre out.
Weβre proud.

Not only is Betty Haynes-Jacobs, LSW an outstanding student, but a powerful community leader, volunteer, and advocate. During her associate degree program, Betty completed an internship at the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland and realized that lives were being lost due to the lack of LGBTQ+ specific support in her community. In response to this need Betty founded LGBTQ+ Allies Lake County, the first and only LGBTQ+ nonprofit serving at-risk children, adults, and their families in Lake County. Since its founding, Betty has led many advocacy & outreach efforts such as pursuing a non-discrimination ordnance for Lake County, promoting the Ohio Fairness Act, serving as the Great Lakes regional director of PFLAG, and working with a local youth behavioral health agency to develop residential treatment programming focused on LGBTQ+ youth in the child welfare system. Bettyβs passion for social work, and especially serving the LGBTQ+ population, is a perfect example of the impact students can make even before they finish their degrees.
Join us in celebrating Betty Haynes-Jacobs and our other winners at the Social Work Celebration Gala on June 18th in Columbus, OH. Mark your calendar!
