Rej Joo may have stumbled into his career, working with LGBT teens, but since then he's become solidly committed to helping Portland, Oregon's queer youth help themselves.

A few years ago, Joo ("just a guy," who identifies politically as a trans man) had just earned his psychology degree when he took an Americorp position with Portland's Sexual Minority Youth Resource Center (SMYRC.org). Developed by Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare to address at risk LGBT youth, SMYRC offers activities like artistic creation, community organizing, peer support and job preparation.
