CREATE THE SPACE CAMPAIGN

Across the country, 2SLGBTQIA+ youth face immense challenges. A staggering 85% of 2SLGBTQIA+ youth experience harassment at school, and The Trevor Project estimates that more than 1.8 million 2SLGBTQIA+ youth ages 13-24 seriously consider suicide each year in the U.S. — and at least one attempts suicide every 45 seconds.

​

2SLGBTQIA+ youth are some of the most vulnerable in our society and deserve better. Here in the Twin Cities, the lack of a dedicated 2SLGBTQIA+ youth center leaves many without access to resources that support their well-being and growth.

​

But, there is hope. In October 2024, we are opening Minnesota's newest and much needed 2SLGBTQIA+ Youth Center in the heart of Minneapolis, accessible from main highways and transit. This new center will offer a safe, inclusive space for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to find community, mentorship, and resources — helping them build pride in who they are, where they come from, and where they want to go!

​

The Create The Space Campaign aims to raise $650,000 to build and equip this vital space and cover its first year of operations, ensuring a sustainable foundation for the future and enabling us to deliver our responsive programming to more young people across the metro and beyond.

​

We need your help to make this possible! With your help, we can create a space where 2SLGBTQIA+ youth feel safe, seen, and supported. Together, we can make this center a beacon of hope and belonging for generations to come.​
