Appalachian Queer Youth Summit 2024 Camper Application
Thank you for your interest in applying for the 2024 Appalachian Queer Youth Summit! Teenagers in West Virginia who are 15 to 19-years-old and who identify as LGBTQ+/come from an LGBTQ+ family are eligible to apply.
This summit will focus on empowering LGBTQ+ youth in the Mountain State and will bring young people together from all corners of West Virginia in a space where they can learn and grow together, and be their authentic selves. Participants will be introduced to LGBTQ community leaders in the state, learn organizing tools and skills, and develop and work together on a project to help the LGBTQ+ community in West Virginia.
The 2024 camp will be held in Morgantown, WV. For security reasons, we will provide the specific location to campers accepted to the 2024 program. We will continue to follow guidelines from the state as well as the CDC and other public health experts related to COVID or other communicable illnesses and will provide updates throughout the process as necessary.
Spaces are limited and we encourage interested applicants to apply as soon as possible, but applications will be accepted until all spaces are full.
If you have further questions, please contact ACLU-WV Community Outreach Director Mollie Kennedy at mkennedy@acluwv.org.
