How Pridepower got started

Empty space, drag to resize

Ellen Frankel is a longtime Kidpower Supporter, Board Member, and Senior Program Leader who is deeply dedicated to making sure that our work reaches those most in need. Ellen believed that people in the LGBTQIA+ community would greatly benefit from an online course that would show how to use the emotional, relationship, and personal safety knowledge and skills we teach to address the difficult issues that they often face.


Inspired by Ellen's vision and motivated by their many years of friendship, Robert Holgate then donated a generous start-up grant, which has made it possible to develop and produce these initial Pridepower lessons. Thanks to Ellen and Robert's generosity, we are to offer this online course free of charge to people who face greater risks of discrimination because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression and to their supporters.
