Now Casting for Our Newest Episodes of Sharing Space

Sometimes, just being heard is enough to change someone’s life. That’s why we are continuing our powerful conversation series, “Sharing Space” – where LGBTQ+ young people sit down with supportive adults to talk, listen, and connect.

We’re currently casting for 2 new episodes:

  • EPISODE THEME 1: Peer Support – We’re looking for LGBTQ+ young people (ages 18–24) who’ve felt the real impact of peer support—whether through a friend, a teacher, a team, an online space, or chosen family. This is your chance to be seen, heard, and to help others by simply telling the truth.
  • EPISODE THEME 2: Conversion Therapy Survivors – We’re also casting LGBTQ+ adults of all ages who survived conversion therapy and are now in a stable, healthy place. This conversation is meant to educate, expose, and empower, with truth at the center. You are not alone. If you’re ready to speak, we’re ready to listen—and amplify.

We are especially hoping to find folks from or currently living in: Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, or Hawaii. But, if you’re elsewhere, don’t count yourself out. 

If you or someone you know is ready to be part of the conversation, apply online at: https://sharingspacecasting.castingcrane.com 

This isn’t reality TV. This is real life. Real voices. Real impact.

Let’s share space—and change lives.
