QUEERSPACE collective's mission
is to create space for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to feel safe and empowered to be their true selves.
Our vision
is for all 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to have a network of support to help them develop a strong sense of pride in who they are, where they come from, and where they want to go.
Our Commitment to Anti-Racism
At QUEERSPACE, we believe creating space for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to feel safe, affirmed, and empowered means actively addressing racism and white supremacy culture within ourselves, our organization, and our communities.
We are committed to ongoing learning, reflection, accountability, and action that centers equity, authentic relationship building, and collective care.
WHAT WE DO & HOW WE DO IT
In four years, QUEERSPACE collective has grown into a holistic organization offering 1:1 youth mentorship, inclusivity training, group programming, and now, a dedicated 2SLGBTQIA+ youth center in Minneapolis.
We're not just creating space, we're actively transforming the interpersonal, community, and systemic structures that shape Queer lives.
OUR REACH & IMPACT
All the work that we do, all the folx we support - the families, youth, and partner organizations - is to ensure and solidify a successful future for our 2SLGBTQIA+ young people.
