Picture
   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 ;(LGBTQ+) children and youth through free legal representation, education, training, and public policy advocacy. Because up to 40% of all homeless youth identify as LGBTQ+ our goal is to reduce homelessness and promote equal treatment for LGBTQ+ youth in social welfare agencies, government services, the Courts, and public schools throughout 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 LGBTQ+ Bar Association, and is a vetted member of the NLGBTQ+ 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.
