The Biden Foundation and YMCA of the USA announce joint effort to foster LGBTQ inclusion and equity nationwide

New initiative will develop and implement local strategies to support LGBTQ individuals and families

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Biden Foundation and YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) today announced a joint three-year effort to foster LGBTQ inclusion and equity at YMCA locations nationwide. Driven by a shared commitment to ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect, this collaboration will first establish a pilot cohort of Ys that will develop and implement locally focused strategies designed to engage and support LGBTQ individuals and their families. These strategies may include staff training; member outreach and engagement; program innovation for LGBTQ youth, adults, seniors and families; and community collaborations. In following years, the best practices and tools developed by the cohort will be scaled to reach Ys nationwide.

This new initiative is made possible thanks to generous funding by the Gill Foundation and the David Bohnett Foundation. The Biden Foundation and Y-USA will provide technical support and strategic guidance to Ys, and the initiative will be supported by a Biden Fellow and a new Y-USA staff position dedicated to LGBTQ inclusion.

“The Biden Foundation is committed to changing our culture so that everyone, including LGBTQ people, feel supported and affirmed,” said Louisa Terrell, Executive Director of the Biden Foundation. “We could not ask for better partners in this work than YMCA of the USA, with its history, reach, and impact in communities across America. The Gill Foundation, which has supported innovative strategies to advance LGBTQ equal treatment for decades; and the David Bohnett Foundation, which has invested significant resources in supporting and empowering local LGBTQ communities are equally powerful partners in this work.”

“The Y is committed to addressing critical social issues and helping all people reach their full potential with dignity and respect,” said Kevin Washington, President and CEO of YMCA of the USA. “Our commitment is rooted in our inclusive mission and our belief that communities are stronger when everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Supporting the well-being and safety of LGBTQ youth and adults is an important need in our communities, and we are proud to partner with the Biden Foundation, Gill Foundation and David Bohnett Foundation to support it.”

“Despite tremendous progress over the last decade, LGBTQ individuals and families continue to face discrimination and challenges at work, in their communities and schools, and even within their own families,” said Scott Miller, Co-Chair of the Gill Foundation. “We are grateful for Vice President and Dr. Biden’s leadership to promote inclusion through their foundation and to have the opportunity to work closely with YMCA of the USA.”

“The most direct way to support families and members of the LGBTQ communities is by being on the ground with them,” said David Bohnett, Founder and Chair of the David Bohnett Foundation. “We are proud to support this historic effort to ensure all our young people, families, and seniors are supported and affirmed where they live.”

This effort is part of the Y’s longstanding commitment to engage and serve all segments of society, build bridges between communities and advance social inclusion and equity for all. Y-USA is the national resource office for the 2,700 YMCAs serving more than 13 million adults and 9 million children annually in 10,000 communities nationwide.

Despite tremendous progress over the last several years in the fight for equality, significant challenges remain for LGBTQ people today. No federal law explicitly protects LGBTQ people from discrimination in employment, housing, healthcare, or public accommodations – and 31 states still lack full statewide nondiscrimination protections. LGBTQ youth struggle with family rejection, bullying in the classroom, and harassment in their communities. And LGBTQ people and families continue to experience disproportionately high rates of poverty, uninsurance, food insecurity and hate violence.

DARK TO LIGHT

BEAU BIDEN, CHAMPION FOR CHILDREN

May 31, 2015 | By Darkness to Light

Categories: News and Events, Other | Tags: Attorney General Beau Biden, Beau Biden, D2L, Delaware, Delaware YMCA, Prevent Child Abuse Delaware

It was with heavy hearts that we at D2L received the news of former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden’s passing.

In a society where we are just beginning to understand children’s right to a healthy, protected childhood, Biden was a pioneer.

In September of 2011, the Attorney General’s office joined with state community leaders including the YMCA of Delaware, Prevent Child Abuse Delaware, and Christ Church of Greenville, unveiling a plan to train 35,000 adults statewide to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse using Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children training.

“It is not a child’s job to protect him or herself from abuse, it’s our job,” said Biden.

Later that year, Darkness to Light honored Biden and other Delaware prevention leaders with the organization’s Voice of Courage award, recognizing their efforts to train adults to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse, and to change societal norms surrounding child protection.

In September of 2012, Prevent Child Abuse Delaware recognized Biden with their “Champion for Children” award for efforts to protect children including creation of the state’s Child Predator Task Force and integral role in itsStewards of Children initiative.

The Child Predator Task Force was created by Biden to track internet predators. By using cutting edge technology and teaming with Delaware’s local police forces, the task force expanded prevention and response efforts to include cyberspace. In August of 2014, the Child Predator Task Force reached a milestone of 203 convictions.

“Protecting children is all of our responsibility and requires all levels of government working together,” said Biden. “Delaware’s children are much safer because of the Child Predator Task Force’s work.”

Beau Biden was a dedicated prevention partner, a friend of child advocates, and a true champion for children. He will be missed.
