Camp Ten Oaks has shown me that I can be whoever I want to be. And, nobody can ever judge me for that.

The sense of belonging and community that I get from Ten Oaks is something that I can feel year-round.

As staff, we create an intentional space for our campers where for one week, they don’t have to be afraid or ashamed of anything about themselves.

I can credit the beautifully diverse chosen family that I now have to Ten Oaks. It’s filled a great void in the community for me.

Being a camper has opened my eyes to the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community, to the diversity of the group I’m a part of.

When I left Project Acorn, the world was a different, more magical, and more manageable place.

The best part of Project Acorn for me was seeing how much love and support is built in such a short span of time.

At Project Acorn, I realized that I can have a powerful voice.

The Volunteer Accessibility Fund was created in 2017 as a way to make volunteering more accessible for lower income individuals by providing funds to volunteer at Ten Oaks Project’s programs, events, meetings, and workshops.

The Volunteer Accessibility Fund can be used to support the following expenses that may be barriers to participation in Ten Oaks Project’s programs, events, meetings, and workshops*:

Bus Tickets
Gas
Childcare

*If a volunteer has an expense not listed in this list, they may contact Ten Oaks Project Staff and may be eligible for funds at staff’s discretion.
