"As a queer person in this country, you learn not to expect too much, so I have begrudgingly taught myself to manage expectations." Let those words sit with you for a moment — they're from a 17-year-old high-school student in Louisiana. But this particular story has a happy ending — because even though Ava has gotten used to managing expectations, they took a leap of faith and applied for a grant with It Gets Better. Now, thanks to 50 States. 50 Grants., the Q-Center at Benjamin Franklin High School is "spearheading tangible change in our school and community." Ava's story is just one of the reasons programs like 50 States. 50 Grants. is so critical. When you support It Gets Better, you're supporting kids like Ava. When you apply for a grant to make your school better for LGBTQ+ students, you're part of a ripple effect of change that starts at the community level.
