Stride for Pride
Across the country, LGBTQ+ young people — especially our transgender youth — are under attack. The very resources that protect their lives, their identities, and their futures are being stripped away.
At Ruth Ellis Center, we won’t back down.
Every mile walked, dollar earned, and team built fuels our mission this Stride for Pride season. Our life-changing support, compassionate look after, and empowering opportunities build a real difference in the lives of Diverse youth experiencing homelessness and instability.
