Youth

"I kind of felt alone with some issues I have involving race until I got to talk with other queer people of color, and I feel less alone now".

"I learned about other people's perspectives so as to expand mine."

"I felt affirmed knowing that others share my experiences."

How We Support Youth

Bi-weekly gathering space for youth who identify as Queer & Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (QTBIPOC).

A youth-led organizing effort to address obstacles facing queer youth in Alaska through activism and community building.

Get involved with a GSA, create a GSA in your community, and bring your GSA action to a monthly state-wide organizing space.

Weekly hangout space for LGBTQ+ Youth and allies. Come make friends, share stories, and have fun. Thurs, 5:30-7:30pm.

Monthly social space for all youth who are transgender, gender fluid, non-binary, who are questioning their gender.

Monthly support space for parents, family, and guardians of LGBTQ youth. All ages are welcome in this multi-generational space.

A private Discord server for LGBTQ+ youth to gather virtually throughout Alaska and build friendships.
