Out Youth

Out Youth is a comprehensive support organization serving LGBTQIA+ youth and their allies throughout Central Texas from its Austin, TX base. Since 1990, Out Youth has developed a robust portfolio of programs and services designed to support sexual and gender minority youth ages 12 to 22 in achieving happy, healthy, and successful adulthood. The organization provides direct youth services through multiple drop-in centers, counseling offices, and specialized spaces including the David Bohnett CyberCenter and Jerry Strickland Jr. Memorial Library. Out Youth's service offerings extend beyond direct youth support to include comprehensive training programs and educational resources for parents, teachers, and community members seeking to better understand and support LGBTQ+ youth. The organization's holistic approach addresses the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being of sexual and gender minority youth, creating safe spaces where young people can explore and affirm their identities without fear. Located in North Central Austin, Out Youth operates multiple facilities including administrative offices at 3007 N Lamar Boulevard and a South Drop-In Center, ensuring accessibility across the Austin metropolitan area.
