QueerSpace Collective: Empowering LGBTQ+ Youth Through Mentorship
by David Annis on Sep 15, 2023
Hey there! Today, I want to introduce you to something truly remarkable - QueerSpace Collective. This organization, which kicked off in April 2021, is doing some fantastic work, especially for LGBTQ+ youth in Minnesota, and it's here to support parents and caregivers like you.
QueerSpace Collective is all about creating a safe and empowering environment for LGBTQ+ youth to be themselves. In a world that doesn't always get it, they've got your back.
But here's the real gem: their mentorship program, QueerSpace Hangouts. It's not your typical mentorship gig; it's a game-changer. This free, youth-centric mentorship program brings LGBTQ+ youth and adults together to connect and be themselves.
You see, QueerSpace Collective believes in authenticity. They believe in being real about who they are, what they do, and how they support LGBTQ+ youth. And what's even cooler? Youth voice and choice guide their programming. The young folks have a say in how things roll, and that's pretty darn empowering.
QueerSpace Collective isn't going it alone; they're all about teamwork. They partner up with other people and organizations to make a bigger impact and strengthen the LGBTQ+ community. Plus, they're on a mission to reduce barriers and make sure everyone in the LGBTQ+ community can access their services.
Innovation and adaptability are in their DNA. They understand that the needs of LGBTQ+ youth change, and they're there to meet those needs head-on. They're all about inclusivity, recognizing that LGBTQ+ identities are wonderfully diverse. And they get it - being LGBTQ+ inclusive is a learning journey.
So, what's their game plan? QueerSpace Collective's vision is crystal clear: they want LGBTQ+ youth to have a network of support that helps them take pride in who they are and where they come from. With the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation, this kind of support is more crucial than ever.
But the star of the show is QueerSpace Hangouts. It's like a beacon of hope for LGBTQ+ youth. They've also got youth workshops, focusing on cool stuff like art, STEM, film, sports, and more. It's all about giving these young folks a chance to explore their interests and passions.
But it's not just about the youth; it's about the whole community. They organize events like Spirit Day, Drag Bingo, and even nature outings. It's about building relationships, fostering a sense of togetherness, and promoting inclusivity.
And for parents and caregivers like you, they offer training and support. Because you play a vital role in the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth, and they want to help you be the best ally you can be.
So, if you're a parent or caregiver looking for a place where your LGBTQ+ youth can be themselves, find support, and experience the magic of mentorship, check out QueerSpace Collective. They're changing lives one hangout at a time, and that's something pretty darn special.
