Pride with Purpose: QNEST’s Powerful Month

Pride Month 2025 was more than a celebration—it was a movement, and QNEST showed up in full force. From Boston to Providence, we took every opportunity to connect with the community, raise awareness about LGBTQ+ youth homelessness, and build momentum toward opening our first group home.

Throughout June, we participated in more than a dozen Pride events!

Every event reminded us why QNEST exists: to ensure LGBTQ+ youth never experience shame, trauma, or homelessness simply for being who they are. At every table we set up, we met people who connected with our mission—youth, parents, allies, and potential partners. The response was overwhelming and deeply encouraging.

We hope that the incredible interest and energy we saw will continue to grow into financial support. Every donation moves us closer to opening our first house and providing a safe, affirming space where LGBTQ+ youth can live, learn, and thrive.

Pride Month may be over, but our work is just getting started. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared their story, or asked how they can help. We’re building this together.
