in my school there is too many people that do not agree with glbt [gay, lesbian, bi, or transgender] kids. on april 25th we participated in the day of silence, there was a threat of someone being killed because one of the kids didnt agree with what we were doing.
by getting this grant i hope to help the staff at first and then hopefuly help the student body by having a DPI certified person come to the school and talk to the school.
thank you for taking the time to read this,

The mission of Jer's Vision: Canada's Youth Diversity Initiative (the Jeremy Dias Foundation) is to support youth who are addressing issues of discrimination in their schools and communities. Discrimination is still a major problem in Canada, and youth are part of the solution. The potential of youth is all too often overlooked, and we want to change that.
Jer's Vision seeks to support youth through programs and services that are open to everyone.
