A Note from our Legal Director,
Keith D. Elston: Welcome to the Kentucky Youth Law Project's official website! KYLP was founded in March 2014 to advocate for the legal needs of Kentucky's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning, intersex, gender fluid, and gender non-conforming (LGBTQI+) youth. |
|
The mission of the Kentucky Youth Law Project, Inc. is to enhance and protect the legal rights and entitlements of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, gender fluid, and gender non-conforming (LGBTQI+) youth through free legal representation, education, and public policy advocacy. Because up to 40% of all homeless youth self-identify as LGBTQI+, our goal is to reduce homelessness and promote equal treatment for LGBTQI+ youth in social welfare agencies, government services, the Courts, and public schools through the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Founder and Legal Director Keith D. Elston serves on the Kentucky Bar Association's (KBA) Committee on Child Protection and Domestic Violence and is Chair of the KBA LGBT Law Section. He is a member of the Kentucky Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the National LGBT Bar Association, and is a vetted member of the NLGBT Bar Association's Family Law Institute and the Transgender Law Institute. He has made numerous professional presentations to Kentucky lawyers, judges, social workers, and educators on LGBTQ+ youth issues, and has represented hundreds of LGBTQ+ clients.
Mr. Elston sees clients and potential clients by appointment only. If you are an LGBTQ+ youth age 25 and under, or are the parent or guardian of an LGBTQ+ youth, and you would like to consult with us regarding an issue related to your (or your child's) sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, please fill out and submit the contact request, above.
