About Us
Mission Statement
As I Am Institute, Inc. assists LGBT persons in discovering their authentic selves, achieving equality, restoring relationship with family and community, and accessing resources that encourage mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Vision Statement
We envision a world where all people enjoy equal rights and respect, can freely unfold their authentic selves, and find community support for mental, emotional and spiritualwellbeing; a world where LGBT persons transcend oppression and realize their strengths; and where LGBT persons move out of isolation to reclaim spiritual affiliation, place in family, and power in community.
We believe that all people are created equal and entitled to all civil rights and liberties; that all people deserve to feel safe and free to be authentic within their families, jobs and communities; and that ending LGBT oppression is a moral imperative.
How As I Am Began

By sharing stories, As I Am Institute recognizes the members, families and friends of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community as leaders in self-actualization, in bridge-building across differences, and in forging paths to express the human quest for wholeness physically, psychologically and spiritually.
