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.

support queer & trans youth recovering from hurricane helene
Our hearts and minds are heavy as Hurricane Helene's devastation continues to unfold. Our community has experienced unthinkable loss, yet community is what is holding us together during this extremely difficult time for Western North Carolina (WNC) and our Appalachian neighbors.
When you examine our work with Queer and Trans youth, you will see community care at its heart. At this time, we have shifted work priorities to meet the immediate needs of LGBTQIA2S+ young people during this state of emergency.
We are accepting monetary donations to contribute to our Direct Youth Payment Program (DYPP), as well as to provide resources and supplies at our in-person Youth Center in Asheville, North Carolina. Learn more and donate below.
