Boca Raton resident Emma Kutcher studies communications at the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts, where she serves as President of the school's Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA). With close to 100 members, the school's GSA is one of the largest in Palm Beach County.
As Editor-in-Chief of the school's Marquee Yearbook, Emma has included coverage providing LGBTQ+ and minority students with a voice to tell their stories. Emma has also volunteered and written content for PRISM, a non-profit organization advocating for LGBTQ+ youth.
"As a first generation, low-income student, PBCHRC's assistance with college expenses means the world to me and my family," said Emma. "This scholarship aimed for LGBTQ+ and human rights advocacy also acknowledges a significant aspect of my life in high school and will continue to be inspirational for the rest of my life."
In the fall, Emma begins her Public Policy studies at Carleton College , where she will continue to work towards achieving social equality.
