Partner with Kentucky's Leading Legal Advocates to fight for LGBTQIA+ Youth
Join KYLP in celebrating champions of justice at our annual Champion Awards Dinner, where Kentucky's most dedicated youth advocates come together to honor those making a real change in the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth across the Commonwealth. For more than twelve years, the Kentucky Youth Law Project (KYLP) has fought for the rights, privacy, safety, well-being, and futures of Kentucky's most vulnerable youth. This year's Champion Awards Dinner recognizes Chris Hartman, executive director of the Fairness Campaign, and the Louisville Youth Group. These awardees have gone above and beyond to ensure every young person has access to justice, education, and opportunity.
Your sponsorship or ticket purchase will directly support our legal advocacy, policy reform, and direct services that have helped hundreds of Kentucky's LGBTQIA+ youth navigate complex legal challenges. Last year alone, we provided critical legal assistance to young people facing barriers in education, juvenile justice, and civil rights, and to protect their privacy, safety, and well-being.
What can you expect?
- 100+ attendees, including legal professionals, community leaders, and youth advocates.
- Award presentations honoring outstanding champions of LGBTQIA+ youth rights.
- Networking opportunities with some of Kentucky's most influential child welfare professionals, elected officials, and LGBTQIA+ advocates.
Your partnership makes a difference. Every gift goes toward expanding our capacity to serve more young people who need legal advocacy and support. When you sponsor our Champion Awards Dinner, you are investing in Kentucky's future leaders.
