Finding Belonging | Kevin Villegas Inspires LGBTQ+ Youth

 
 
Since joining San Jose’s LGBTQ Youth Space Speakers Bureau, 24-year-old Kevin Villegas shares his personal story with other young people about growing up between different worlds and not always being sure where he fit in. “I want to be that safe adult that I didn’t have growing up,” he remembers. “I encourage others to advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves.” For more information visit youthspace.org
