Friends of PYC

Keep LGBTQ Youth on the State Agenda!

The formal network of community supporters behind the Pennsylvania Youth Congress is Friends of PYC.

We invite all those who back PYC's mission to join our greater community backing the leadership of young LGBTQ Pennsylvanians. This opportunity welcomes individuals to invest in PYC as monthly or annual cornerstone supporters. Friends of PYC may choose to be sent special updates on PYC’s work and listed in our annual report. Friends of PYC sponsor the work of the organization with a monthly pledge of at least $10 or an annual pledge of at least $120. Supporters that invest $1,000 or more our advocacy work will be known as Keystone Friends of PYC. Individuals of all ages, sexual orientations, and gender identities are welcome. The annual cycle for Friends of PYC begins each January.

As a Friend of PYC, you will have a major impact by helping PYC empower young LGBTQ leaders. PYC can rely on your continued support every month to grow even stronger across Pennsylvania.

Complete the form below and you will be directed to donate securely online! You may make one donation for the year or select the "Make this a monthly donation" option.

Alternatively, if you would like to send us a donation to become a Friend of PYC, you may do so by check payable to "The Pennsylvania Youth Congress Foundation" and sent through post mail to 413 Walnut Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
