Help Launch Our Programs!

Rainbow Routes

I launched Rainbow Routes after seeing how many LGBTQ+ students worried their identities had to shrink their worlds instead of expand their horizons.

Rainbow Routes reimagines study abroad as a tool for empowerment, creating identity-affirming experiences that connect LGBTQ+ students across cultures and generations. Beyond removing barriers, our programs actively engage participants with LGBTQ+ histories, communities, and travel through Study Away Programs. Our curricula and itineraries highlight that LGBTQ+ individuals have always existed worldwide and will continue to do so, with pride.

By supporting Rainbow Routes, you're helping expand the horizons of LGBTQ+ students, making it possible for them to see the world not as a place where their queerness is a barrier, but as a bridge to new communities, opportunities, and futures.

Rainbow Routes is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, making your donations tax-deductible. If you're considering a major gift, multi-year commitment, or in-kind donation, please contact lizzy@rainbowroutes.org. To donate by check, please send to:

Community Initiatives- 6494 Rainbow Routes
PO Box 45515
San Francisco, CA 94145-0515

Every dollar raised will help make our programs more affordable and accessible. While we are actively applying for grants and seeking partnerships to reduce cost barriers, donations are especially impactful in these early stages and will go a long way in supporting our pilot programs. To learn more about our pilot programs, please visit www.rainbowroutes.org.

Thank you,

Lizzy Monroe (she/her), Founder & CEO
