A Better Me Program strives to build a safe and welcoming community, where people are supported and accepted. We consider and actively listen to the ideas and opinions other than one’s personal beliefs, identity, and background. A Better Me strongly welcomes diversity. We are committed to being an ally to BIPOC, gender diverse, sexually diverse, disabled, and religious communities. We also strive to make the larger Memphis community more welcoming and safer by providing training to outside community groups free of charge. 

A Better Me recognizes that every person has a unique educational journey regarding identities such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc. We strive to create a safe and supportive learning environment that uses queer liberation and activism to support people on their educational journeys. Making mistakes is part of education, and we aim to help each person broaden their knowledge and find safety in asking for support.

A Better Me is proud to stand with many other organizations throughout the US on our collective mission to support LGBTQIA+ people. By partnering with others, we are able to bring our core values to spaces across the state and raise awareness of the many challenges the LGBTQIA+ face. 

Now more than ever, teens and families need support, community, and comprehensive care. Most of all, they need hope. Better Me brings hope, communication and daily living skills.  

A Better Me is a community designed to allow youth and adults access to fun, freedom, and self-expression. We host three weekly drop-ins for youth to meet other peers with goals of succeeding in life. 

A Better Me aspires to be a present and active member in local activism and community events. We at Better Me partner with many local organizations to promote and direct change for the social and political reform of the challenges people in the LGBTQIA+ community face & Trouble teens and Poverty families.
