How JayDe is OUT IN the community
My volunteer work facilitating a drop-in group for gay men coping with substance abuse at the UCSF AIDS Health Project (AHP).
How JayDe is OUT, IN the UCSF Community
I attend most LGBTI-sponsored events and activities. Also, my supervisors and faculty support my volunteer work in the LGBTI community with flex time.
How does JayDe define community
Community includes everyone that makes it possible for me to thrive: UCSF community where I find professional and personal support; community where I find inspiration, love, and support; San Francisco community where I am taught compassion and acceptance.
JayDe’s most OUTstanding, INcredible acheivement
Adapting from a small, rural Nebraska town to thriving in a city like San Francisco.
JayDe’s cultural heritage
Hard-working Danes that came to Midwest America to homestead and raise their families.
Who are his role models
Eric Rofes who taught me the concept of living life unapologetically. He stressed the importance of being true to yourself and being free to explore who you are which opens the doors to exploration and self-acceptance. The ultimate “I am what I am.”
How JayDe would change UCSF to improve the quality of life for LGBT people
Increased visibility: It’s hard to hold on to stereotypes when it becomes more obvious that we are just people searching for a life of meaning like everyone else.
