Abby McElroy

Pronouns : she/her

Abby wants all queer youth to know that they are beloved.

Abby is a queer youth of faith and college student studying Sociology and Comparative Religion. She grew up in a Jewish & Catholic multi-faith family, which sparked her interest in learning about other religious, ethical, and spiritual traditions. At Beloved Arise, Abby assists with BAM (Beloved Arise Mentorship) - she is so excited to help unite queer youth of faith with amazing mentors.

Her professional experience includes internships with ParentChild+, the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), Al Otro Lado, and AccessMatters. She also has been extensively engaged with queer and interfaith work on her college campus.
