Youth Pride, Inc.
Youth Pride, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Rhode Island, dedicated to meeting the unique needs of LGBTQIA2S+ youth and young adults under the age of 24. Established in 1992, it began as a support group for the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) of Greater Rhode Island, initially called "The Way Out."
History
Youth Pride, Inc. grew out of a small weekly group that quickly expanded, eventually becoming a standalone organization with its own tax-exempt status in 1994. The organization's initial support group, "The Way Out," is commemorated with a main discussion group of the same name.
Mission
The mission of Youth Pride, Inc. is to provide direct service, support, advocacy, and education to LGBTQ+ youth and young adults. The organization aims to eliminate prejudice against LGBTQ+ youth and provide them with the necessary social services to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
Programs and Services
Youth Pride, Inc. operates a drop-in center where youth can access various resources, including a Basic Needs Pantry, counseling services provided by licensed clinicians, and educational programs. The center hosts multiple groups catering to diverse interests, such as Gender Spectrum, The Way Out, Queer Gourmet, Dungeons + Dragons, Little Unicorns, and Pride Side.
Additionally, Youth Pride, Inc. offers professional development trainings and educational sessions in schools. It also leads the statewide LGBTQQ Youth Task Force, focusing on policy advocacy in education, health, and social services.
Events and Fundraising
One of the organization's major fundraising events is the annual gala, which supports its programs and services. The gala includes live music, awards, and a meal, bringing together supporters, staff, and board members.
Governance and Status
Youth Pride, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization, making all donations tax-deductible. The organization recently made news when its staff voted to unionize with SEIU 1199, marking a significant step in securing better working conditions for its employees.
