The Naming Project is governed and operated
by a team of volunteers who actively minister to youth,
run the program, and keep the organization going. They
have been working since 2002 to create a program that will
meet the needs of youth who are dealing with coming out,
sexuality, gender identity, and faith. You can reach all
directors by emailing staff@thenamingproject.org.
