Birds of a Feather

Organization Mission

By offering individualized tutoring sessions in an affirming space by a queer-identified and California credentialed teacher, Birds of Feather embraces the unique and precious experience of each LGBTQ+ student and offers the support they need to thrive.

The Big Idea 2026:
Reaching Rainbow Students

This fundraiser will create a robust scholarship fund to offer free and sliding-scale individualized tutoring support for local LGBTQ+ youth.

Inundated by daily messages from the news and social media that challenge their worth and existence, LGBTQ+ youth need our support! At Birds of a Feather LGBTQ+ youth can be completely themselves and receive the academic support they need, regardless of their financial resources.

Over four years, we’ve offered 500 individualized tutoring sessions for local LGBTQ+ youth. Please help us offer 500 more!

It's a wonderful feeling as a parent to know that your child is being honored for who they are and encouraged to become more than they think they can be!
