Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Over the past two years, the Kentucky Youth Law Project (KYLP) has served as the primary legal shield for LGBTQ+ youth across the Commonwealth. In a climate of unprecedented legislative challenges and judicial shifts, our mission has never been more critical.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Our key achievements for 2025 include securing major funding through a grant from the Charles and Jack Fund. This award allows the organization to expand free legal services into rural Kentucky. The organization also successfully appealed cases to protect the privacy of transgender youth during name changing proceedings. The organization built a specialized legal framework to help medical providers quash subpeonas seeking the private medical records of minors receiving gender-affirming care. The organization also evaluated 15 pieces of state and federal legislation, providing legal expertise necessary to inform the public and advocate against discriminatory mandates.--
