How is PROUD Making a Difference?

“As a parent, I had to first understand and embrace the fact that my child no longer identified as a girl. I now have a son. And it is my hope he can attend PROUD Academy with other students who get it. I love my child unconditionally and I want him to feel that same support in his school.”
Patriciaparent
"PROUD Academy is needed for our children. I took my child, who identifies as transgender/genderqueer, to the PROUD Academy Open House and I saw them come alive. They were in their element. They felt safe. They felt accepted. They felt confident. To see a place where they could feel so much themselves and so loved for exactly who they are was the most incredible experience."
Rebeccaparent
"I want to go to PROUD Academy because I'll be able to talk to more kids that are queer and will be more accepting of me. It would be a really cool experience."
Ryanstudent
"It's so important for individuals and children to have PROUD Academy - to have a school that is always going to accept, never have to judge. It's all full of love. Everybody should have love in their heart and having a school like that would be absolutely amazing for our children. I would like my child to be able to go to a school where there's no judgment."
Cassieparent
"I get made fun of for being queer, I get made fun of for being trans at school. A school that is made for people like me and made for a community that's not always treated correctly is an amazing thing. It makes a community. It makes a family."
