Inside Out Youth Services has been building access, equity, and power with LGBTQIA2+ young people, ages 13-24 for over 30 years. We offer a community center with resources, including a food pantry and clothing closet, evidence-based programming, support groups, and a network of trusted adults. Out in the community, the Inside Out team offers trainings, advocacy, and other services to ensure LGBTQIA2+ young people have safe spaces across the region.
Supporting Inside Out Youth Services is about giving LGBTQIA2+ youth the love and acceptance they deserve. In a world where they often face discrimination and isolation, this center is a beacon of hope and safety. Your donation helps create a community where every young person feels valued and empowered. By supporting Inside Out, you’re investing in a future where everyone can thrive, celebrated for who they are.
Our goal is to increase the number of youth served, provide access to mental health professionals, conduct educational workshops within the community, introduce vocational training and arts initiatives, invest in organizational development, and organize impactful events like Youth Pride.
Before attending Inside Out Youth Services, only 32% of the young people we serve reported healthy, supportive community connections; after, an astounding 100% said they had these vital connections.
“Without Inside Out, I wouldn't know where I would be today. It has been so crucial to my development and growth as a queer person, and made up for the safe environments I didn't have growing up. I got trusted adults, resources, and support that I had never received in other places like before.” — Skylar (they/he), age 24
