High Five Initiative will bring Professional Athletes into LGBT Youth Together


The You Can Play project has something new to ofter LGBT youth. They have started the "High Five Initiative," which has professional athletes working closely with LGBT youth organizations.

This new project kicks off with former NFL players Troy Vincent and Dwight Hollier visiting the Hetrick-Martin Institute, a LGBT youth center.

The High Five Initiative will hopefully grow in the upcoming year, attracting current and former NFL players, as well as pro-sports leagues.

This is a great idea, I hope it works.

This is great news! I'd love to see more of this than just the NHL taking the lead.
