We came across Point of Pride a few years ago, when we started thinking about our line for gender-affirming top surgery scars. They helped to guide us into a world we admittedly were just learning about.
Point of Pride is doing transformative work in LGBTQ+ youth empowerment and community building. Their mission resonates deeply with our values at TuckTats, and we wanted to share their story with our community.
What is Point of Pride?
Point of Pride is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering transgender and non-binary youth through education, visibility, and direct support. Founded on the belief that every young person deserves access to affirming resources and community, they've built a comprehensive platform that addresses real gaps in youth services and advocacy.
Their work spans multiple areas: educational programming, mentorship opportunities, direct assistance, and community building. What sets them apart is their commitment to centering the voices and experiences of the young people they serve, ensuring that every initiative is grounded in authentic need and lived expertise.
Why We Love What They Do
Point of Pride operates with remarkable intentionality. They understand that support looks different for everyone, and they've designed their programs to meet young people where they are. Whether it's through peer mentorship, educational resources, or direct aid, they're creating pathways to belonging and self-acceptance.
What truly inspires us is their commitment to systemic change. They're not just responding to immediate needs—they're actively working to shift culture, challenge stigma, and build a more inclusive world. That kind of vision-driven work creates ripples far beyond individual interactions.
Community at the Core
At the heart of Point of Pride is a thriving community of volunteers, supporters, and allies united around a shared vision. They've created spaces where young people can connect, learn, and grow alongside others who understand their experiences. That sense of collective purpose and belonging is powerful.
The organization's impact extends across the country, touching lives and contributing to meaningful cultural transformation. Their work reminds us that change happens when communities come together around shared values of acceptance, visibility, and empowerment.
Get Involved
If Point of Pride's mission resonates with you, there are many ways to support their work. Whether through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word, every contribution helps them continue their vital work in LGBTQ+ youth advocacy and empowerment.
We're honored to highlight Point of Pride and donate 10% of our proceeds from our top surgery tattoos to their initiatives. Their dedication to creating safer, more affirming spaces for young people is exactly the kind of work that makes our communities stronger and more inclusive.
