About ALEX

ALEX is an acronym for Acceptance, Love, Equality, and Xenacious.

When one of Sarah Celotto’s children came out as part of the LGBTQ community, Sarah jumped into educating herself. She attended meetings and read books and articles so that she could fully be there for her child. In doing this, Sarah realized the need for education, communication and creating spaces where youth and adults could be their true authentic selves without feeling judged. She started ALEX not only for her child but for all those who have felt unseen, unloved and unsupported. She hopes this organization will help create a world where we can live together with no judgement or hate but instead acceptance and love.

Our Mission

To create a safe, compassionate community while empowering LGBTQ+ youth, families, and allies through educational, emotional, and financial support. We hold annual events to raise funds in support of these goals. Through local partnerships, ALEX aims to build a society where everyone is treated equally and can live authentically.
