Hi wonderful people!
Growing up in Oklahoma, I know firsthand how important the fight for rights for LGBTQIA2+ youth is. Inside Out is *directly* responsible for saving lives.
According to the Trevor Project's 2024 study on the mental heath of LGBTQIA2+ young people, "LGBTQ+ young people who reported living in very accepting communities attempted suicide at less than half the rate of those who reported living in very unaccepting communities."
At IOYS, young folks are able to create that accepting community. At our community center, they are able to access everything from education about healthy relationships to clinical therapists on site to instruments to express their musical creativity through song (usually about frogs). :)
As Donor Relations Manager at Inside Out Youth Services, the mission of Inside Out Youth Services is incredibly important to me. Please join me in building access, equity, and power for LGBTQIA2+ youth in the Pikes Peak/ El Paso County region!
