Youth On Fire: Burning Down the Stereotypes

This Thursday at the main library on Broadway, *Youth on Fire*<http://www.aac.org/about/our-work/youth-on-fire.html> and the *Cambridge GLBT Commission <http://www.cambridgema.gov/glbt> *are presenting an evening program called *Burning Down the Stereotypes* on *LGBTQ Young Adult Homelessness: Stories of Risk & Resilience and What You Can Do. *(Food, film, exposition and panel discussion.) - Thursday, November 14, 2013 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM Cambridge Public Library (Main Branch) 449 Broadway Lower level L2, in the Auditorium *Youth on Fire* <http://www.aac.org/about/our-work/youth-on-fire.html> is a drop-in center for homeless and street-involved youth in Harvard Square. YOF has provided a broad spectrum of vital services, supports and opportunities to over 3,000 youth since the program opened its doors in the Spring of 2000. I have had a chance to meet with some of the youth, and they have incredibly interesting stories to tell. About 1/3 of homeless youth are GLBT. As a member of the Cambridge GLBT Commission, I have been working with YOF, and will be co-sponsoring this event. As part of the presentation, "*No Place Like Home*", a new short documentary film, will be premiered. Here's the trailer<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYUKLim9jPQ> . Hope to see you there! And if you can, donations of new packaged socks & gloves are appreciated. Bill Barnert
