YOUTH & YOUNG ADULT SERVICES
Helping the Future of Our Community
The importance of LGBTQ+ youth programming, safe spaces, and support services cannot be overstated, especially at organizations like Pridelines. LGBTQ+ youth often face unique challenges related to their sexual orientation or gender identity, including bullying, harassment, discrimination, and rejection from family and peers. These experiences can lead to feelings of isolation, depression, and anxiety, and even put them at risk for homelessness and suicide. Programs and safe spaces that are specifically designed to address these issues can be life-saving for these young people. They provide a sense of community, acceptance, and belonging, as well as access to resources, education, and counseling. By supporting LGBTQ+ youth in this way, organizations like Pridelines are helping to create a more inclusive and equitable world for all.
Programs & Activities
“I see each and every one of you. The things that make us different, those are our superpowers — every day when you walk out the door and put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren’t in it.” — Lena Waithe
