Happy Pride Month from the team at Time Out Youth! We are so grateful for a chance to celebrate what we center every day: LGBTQ+ joy. During a time in which q***r and trans people are under attack, it is incredibly important to make space for all the things we love about pride: hope, joy, beauty, resistance, and the rich history and diversity of our community. We are wishing our entire LGBTQ+ family a wonderful pride season. We cannot wait to celebrate with you! 🏳️‍⚧️🤎🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride month from those of us at TOY! We can't wait to kick off the month with a great set of programs. LGBTQ+ youth can join us for Yoga with Lex, Space Aces (Discord only), Poetry, a bookmark crafternoon, and more! Also, remember to register for our Lavender Graduation by 6/5 for cords and caps here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchtRDQHo_ZalAPNYLd2nanOjT0ZyLMgIEipUZSMpPAeNE9qg/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=101798455841464013684. See you soon! 🌈

How do you tell the story of a year? How do you encapsulate the joy in our building, TOY's continued impact on young people, or the changing funding climate for LGBTQ+ nonprofits? That's the challenge of our 2025 Annual Report, which we are excited to share with you! Check out these highlights or read the full Annual Report at the link: https://timeoutyouth.org/annual-financial-reports/. All that we accomplished in 2025 would not have been possible without the support of our community, donors, volunteers, and partners. In a difficult time for LGBTQ+ youth, your belief in empowering q***r and trans young people was more important than ever. Thank you for showing up, making a difference, and letting LGBTQ+ youth know they have someone in their corner. 💜🌈

This community event is exclusively for POC LGBTQ+ young people ages 13 - 24. Honor the spirit of Juneteenth with us through music, food, raffle prizes, dancing, and other surprises! We'll see you there! 🐎🎉👢
