Testimonials from the video...

"After I started coming to the Partnership I started getting more confidence in myself"

"It's actually helped me grow up. I have been coming here for four years now.
It has helped me through some really hard times..."

"It's helped my life a lot becasue I was really into some bad things. I started coming here and
then I cut back and I stopped.."

"I think it has made a huge impact on the community and on the gay and lesbian
community especially, because it gives kids and young adults a place to go..."

"The community really does need the Partnership, because a lot of people in the community don't
understand the GLBT issues and it is something that needs to be understood by everyone..."

Other information...
In 2007, the GLBT Partnership served 170 youth!!
This seems like so many, yet...
The table below represents the number of estimated gay youth in Outagamie county based on
2000 Census information for the State of Wisconsin.  The numbers are split between “low and high estimates”
for the percentage of the population that identifies as GLBT.     

Looking at these numbers is very grounding when compared to the numbers of youth we serve weekly, or even in a year. 
When our program numbers are high, we are still only seeing 30 a week and close to 150 per year.
In addition, these numbers are for Outagamie County only.  Harmony Café serves all of the Fox Valley and
plenty of the wider Northeast Wisconsin.  Typically, our service region is Neenah, Menasha, Appleton,
Kimberly, Kaukauna, Winneconne, Hortonville, New London, Freedom and Seymour. 
There are still many more youth we can serve.

      No one can show the meaning of this program better than the participants themselves. 
We recently received a phone call from a GLBT Partnership participant from Kimberly,
thanking us for everything the program has done for him. 
In asking him to write up his thoughts, he wrote:

            When I first came to the GLBT Partnership I was afraid and ashamed of going and being
who I truly am. By making friends in this group who where going through the same problems that
I was, it really helped me to understand that I shouldn’t be ashamed of being gay. Ii have now been
going to the Partnership for a little over a year, and within that time I have gained so much confidence
 in myself because of the wonderful support I was given, I came out to my parents and siblings and
today, using the same feeling of confidence, I came out to my Grandmother, something that I never
would have been able to do without the Partnership. By coming out I felt the weight of the world
being lifted off of me, because I no longer have to pretend to be someone I’m not, and I can be
who I am. So I'd just like to thank you and the Partnership for being there for me.
