  • a conference room/study hall
  • a small community kitchen where snacks are served throughout the day and one meal is prepared for program participants each night.Sorry parents, the space is only open to youth between the ages of 14 and 24, staff members and trained volunteers.


We Provide Referral Services For At Risk Youth

Pridelines Youth Services is dedicated to the safety of ALL LGBTQ youth between the ages of 14 and 24. As a member of The Alliance for LGBTQ Youth and one of South Florida’s oldest LGBTQ youth organizations, we have the relationships within the community to refer at-risk youth to agencies that can help them overcome the obstacles they may be facing, such as:

  • Homelessness
  • Suicidal Ideation
  • Substance Abuse
  • Physical or Mental Abuse
  • Health Related Issues
  • Legal Issues

Our youth should never feel helpless or alone!
