About Inside Out Youth Services

Inside Out Youth Services operates a comprehensive LGBTQIA2+ youth center in Colorado Springs, CO, providing essential support and programming for young people ages 13-24. The organization offers both drop-in hours and scheduled programs designed to build healthy relationships, develop life skills, and foster community connection. Youth can participate in healthy relationship workshops, life skills training, recreational nights, discussion groups, and peer support activities available both online and in-person. Beyond center-based services, Inside Out delivers individual therapy sessions and counseling support to address the mental health and wellness needs of LGBTQIA2+ youth in the Colorado Springs region. The organization extends its impact through community advocacy and education, training trusted adults and youth-serving professionals through workshops including LGBTQ 101/102 classes and parent education programs. Inside Out partners with the Pikes Peak Safe at Schools Coalition to advocate for school safety and policy changes that protect LGBTQIA2+ students. With over 35 years of experience serving the Colorado Springs community, Inside Out has developed evidence-based programs that help young people understand healthy relationships, build leadership capacity, and access the support systems necessary for thriving as their authentic selves. The organization recognizes that LGBTQIA2+ youth face disproportionate risks including higher rates of suicidal ideation, homelessness, and mental health challenges, and tailors its services to address these critical needs with culturally affirming care.
