LGBTQ+ Community at YWA
Many of our staff and students are part of the LGBTQ+ community. As a school, we are a welcoming and nurturing place for students as they go through the difficult process of self-discovery, no matter where they are in their journey. We understand and support the many changes in expression, names, pronouns, and labels that often accompany this journey.
At YWA, our students work with a faculty and staff who are active LGBTQ+ community members and allies. We are always looking for new ways to support our students as they explore their own identities and find a sense of self.
