The nonprofit aims to create a safer, more diverse gaming environment through education and advocacy. A key initiative is its mentorship program, now in its fourth iteration, which connects selected individuals with high-ranking professionals in the esports industry. These partnerships focus on Capstone Projects that address critical issues within gaming, such as launching Kickstarter campaigns, creating digital platforms, and organizing tournaments. One notable participant, Marissa Rohr, Esports Supervisor at Grand Canyon University, initially investigated why women were underrepresented in gaming clubs, discovering that LGBTQ+ individuals also faced significant exclusion. This insight helped shape the mentorship program’s focus on providing resources and support to LGBTQ+ gamers pursuing careers in the industry.","datePublished":"2024-10-09T09:41:02Z","headline":"LGBTQ

inclusivity for women and the LGBTQ+ community. The nonprofit aims to create a safer, more diverse gaming environment through education and advocacy. A key initiative is its mentorship program, now in its fourth iteration, which connects selected individuals with high-ranking professionals in the esports industry. These partnerships focus on Capstone Projects that address critical issues within gaming, such as launching Kickstarter campaigns, creating digital platforms, and organizing tournaments.<br /> <br /> One notable participant, Marissa Rohr, Esports Supervisor at Grand Canyon University, initially investigated why women were underrepresented in gaming clubs, discovering that LGBTQ+ individuals also faced significant exclusion. This insight helped shape the mentorship program’s focus on providing resources and support to LGBTQ+ gamers pursuing careers in the industry.<br /> <br /> Image Credit: Friends Stock</div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'> <div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes</div> <div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'> <div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.
