Summer of Sass transforms lives by offering a much needed break to LGBTQI 18-20 yr olds from oppressive areas in the US. A summer in the welcoming community of Provincetown, Mass to live and work where they are celebrated.

Summer of Sass featured on NBC in Boston

“Provincetown has long been a haven for queer people, one of America’s most accepting LGBTQ communities. And giving queer youth a chance to experience a place like that, so far removed from their communities back home, is the kind of formative experience that can change—or save—lives”
— Vice Magazine

Summer of Sass is featured in the Welcome to Provincetown Podcast

“I love myself now. I don’t feel shame anymore. And it was the openness—this whole energy from Provincetown that’s so happy and accepting.”
— Teddy Lowery, Sasser 2017

Our Story

Summer of Sass (SoS) is the brain child of comedian and activist, Kristen Becker. What started as a simple idea to show young adults “what better looks like” is rapidly growing into an opportunity to radically transform the lives of LGBTQ 18-20 yr olds.

SoS offers a lifeboat to those struggling in oppressive areas of the country and helps to stabilize them on the shores of Provincetown (Ptown),a summer tourist destination known for its acceptance and celebration of those things that make each of us unique.

We subsidize travel costs and initial housing as Sassers get settled in, connect them with local employers and offer overall support to them as we widen their perspective, build their confidence and show them What Better Looks Like.
