Our Mission
Our mission is to create a world in which all Queer and Trans youth are supported to realize their power and autonomy through self-determination. We help youth resist oppression by building community, healing, and growing together.
Youth OUTright engages in intersectional and intergenerational dialogue with a focus on gender and racial justice.
Our work includes programming for youth ages 11-24, training for youth-serving organizations, and advocacy for policies that protect Queer and Trans youth.

Highlight
2025 GSA Summit: Community Power
Get ready for a day-long conference for and by LGBTQIA+ youth. Engage in workshops on topics that affect your community and meet fellow Queer and Trans middle and high school students and youth advocates from across Western North Carolina!
Our focus this year is on community power. During these turbulent times, when queer and trans rights are under attack, we have to build power together as a community to take the power back!
