You belong

We build access, equity, and power with
LGBTQIA2+ youth, ages 13-24.

Vote NO on Propositions 134 & 135

Inside Out Youth Services is a part of the Families Not Politics campaign to combat propositions 134 and 135 and keep important decisions about kids’ health and well-being between them, their families, and their doctors – not politicians.

We’re changing hearts and minds throughout the state, and you could be a part of this movement. Join us for any of our upcoming canvasses (complete with training and experienced volunteer support) by signing here.

Get Involved

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of LGBTQIA2+ youth? In addition to accepting donations, Inside Out offers multiple advocacy and volunteer opportunities.

Programs

Our programs support young people through discussion groups, drop-ins (online and in-person), outings, leadership opportunities, case management, and food and clothing support. Our goal is to ensure that each of the lives we touch goes on to live a healthy and long existence as their authentic happy self.

Advocacy

Our adult workshops train parents and youth-serving adults how to advocate and support young people through allyship and community resiliency. We also work with community partners, schools, and organizations to advocate for young people and teach them how to be inclusive, change-making leaders.

Give!

Every dollar you spend with us is put directly toward aiding and assisting LGBTQIA2+ young people of the Tava-Kaavi (Pikes Peak) region. Your thoughtful donation makes a big difference for the young people attending Inside Out.
