PRYSM's spring mailing to area schools was very successful! Eleven colleges and 26 high schools have requested additional information about gay and lesbian youth.

Also, adult advisors are needed to assist PRYSM from the black, Hispanic and Asian communities. The advisors will help as role models for young people from these communities within the gay/lesbian community. Call the Center if you're interested.
