“tSB is a place where you can be comfortable with being who you are but also learn to challenge yourself in a safe space. I’ve personally been involved for four years. I keep returning every year for the supportive community and the chance to have my voice heard and the opportunity to be a leader at tSB.”

— Davion F. | 2017 Prophet, 2018 Peer Leader, 2019 Wintern

“I learn so much from everyone in the community. And being surrounded by people who look like me is so empowering. Helping provide access to social justice education, outdoor activities, and other opportunities is so empowering. Everything about tSB is empowering, which is why I’ve stuck with the program for so long.”

— Linda P. | 2017 Prophet, 2018 Peer Leader

“tSB was a very important program for me. The program challenged me to be more outgoing and to take risks. It was also where I discovered that I could be a leader. I met and made connections with people from all over the city that I might not have met otherwise. The people I met in tSB are still some of my closest friends even years later.tSB’s program gave me a place to pursue my passion for social justice and to get a better understanding of what that means. It was always important to me, but tSB made me more dedicated to it.I think tSB helped me get to know myself better and to be really comfortable in who I am and what I believe in.”
