A need in the LGBT community

Hi guys and girls:

I am a college student and have been learning about all the structural injustices that minorities face for 3 years now. After 2 years, I started feeling quite discontent simply learning about the discrimination so many communities suffer. Finally this year, I have decided to try to start a social justice program that would try to meet the needs of a certain community -- the LGBT community.

I was wondering what are some problems you see in the LGBT that you think would benefit greatly from the development of a social justice program?

Personally, I played around with the idea of starting a mentorship program. From speaking with some presidents of LGBT groups, experiences of my friends and myself, I felt that teenagers would really benefit from having mentors who are more similar to them and can advise them about what life is like as a LGBT. The advice might be more applicable to their lives, and possibly they might feel more open to confide in their mentors. This is a much debated topic in education in general -- do students who are of ethnic backgrounds do better when they have teachers who they can ethnically identify with. Another reason I wanted to develop a mentorship program is that I know there are not as many LGBT role models in mainstream media, so having one that you can actually interact with might be very beneficial.

Those are my ideas, what do you guys think? Is this a demand that needs to be met? Especially in the Bay Area [specifically San Jose or the South Bay] which is where I am.
