Join our monthly giving family and support LGBTQIA+ youth all year long!

When you become an OutYouth GEM, you’re joining a community of supporters who are Giving Every Month to ensure continuous support for the LGBTQIA+ youth we serve and believe in a year-round commitment to love, affirmation, and acceptance.

Season of Pride

We’re celebrating the one-year anniversary of the OutYouth GEMS this summer with a whole Season of Pride!

While we still find time for joy and celebration, that celebration is tinged with urgency this year. There’s never been a more critical time to support OutYouth’s virtual, life-changing work than right now.

With the hostile social and political climate across the nation, and right here in our home state, mental health challenges for LGBTQIA+ youth are only intensifying.

We invite you to stand in solidarity by becoming an OutYouth GEM. Your monthly gift, at whatever level you choose, is an act of love, courage, and commitment to a better future for our LGBTQIA+ youth.

We’re fighting for LGBTQIA+ youth and their futures, and asking you to fight with us.
