Mission: YouthPride, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, protects, unites, and dignifies the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth and young adults.
Results: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQ) youth remain under attack. As we all know, and are constantly reminded, those who are willing to bring harm to young people not only sprout up daily, but the predators have a very strong network of constant support and solid protection. YouthPride is a safe, supportive development and resource center where youth can actually feel, and be, safe and secure. At YouthPride, LGBTQQ youth are free from bullying, free from ridicule, and free from predators. At YouthPride we believe that LGBTQQ youth are just as important, just as deserving as their heterosexual counterparts. YouthPride continues to offer counseling, social services, computer usage, nightly discussion forums, HIV testing, and recreational programming. All services are FREE, client-centered, and, quality driven. None of YouthPride’s services have strings attached. YouthPride prevented 22 suicides in 2012.Additionally, 63 youth were matched with stable, safe housing. YouthPride is asking you to be a GUARDIAN of LGBTQQ youth. Support YouthPride in continuing to protect LGBTQQ youth. Support YouthPride in providing a truly appropriate, healthy environment for LGBTQQ youth. It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and express outrage about mistreatment of LGBTQQ youth with no outcome. It doesn’t matter if you are gay or straight. Be meaningful. Do something good. Stand firm. Be a Guardian.
Target demographics: LGBTQ Youth Ages 13-24
Geographic areas served: Atlanta Metro Area
Programs: Discussion GroupsFor youth who realize they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, questioning, or have gender issues, there are few havens. Many adults in schools and religious institutions either deny that gays and lesbians exist or condemn homosexuality outright. LGBTQQ youth often feel ashamed and vulnerable in the very places where they should feel the safest. YouthPride feels offering weekly discussion groups is one of the most valuable services it can provide. All groups are facilitated by trained adult and youth volunteers and operated according to a set of rules developed by YP Staff, Board of Directors, and Youth. Every group begins with a review of group rules. All information exchanged during meetings is confidential.
