Lady Gaga is teaming up with Harvard বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় to form the Born This Way Foundation, a non-profit, charitable organization.

Its purpose: to “explore the best ways to reach youth and create a new culture of kindness, bravery, acceptance and empowerment” with a focus on issues such as “self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development and advocacy,” according to a Harvard release.

“My daughter’s foundation was born out of her passion to create a better world where people are kinder and nicer to one another and are accepted for who they are, regardless of how different they may be,” Cynthia Germanotta ব্যক্ত of the new organization. “She has experienced many of the struggles that our youth encounter today, and identifies with the lasting effects they can have without proper support. Together, we look অগ্রবর্তী to creating a new movement that will engage and empower youth and accept them as valuable members of our society.”

Gaga, a frequent champion of gay rights, was honored earlier this week with a GLAAD Media Awards nomination, in the Outstanding সঙ্গীত Artist category.
