Your Gift Changes Everything

When a young person walks through our doors, they’re often carrying more than anyone their age should have to bear: fear, loneliness, rejection, or the weight of simply trying to exist in the world as who they truly are.

Your gift changes that.

Because of donors like you, LGBTQ+ and allied youth in Sarasota and Manatee Counties find connection, counseling, and community. They discover they’re not alone. They begin to feel safe. They begin to heal.

A Story You Make Possible

When “Alex” arrived at ALSO Youth, he barely spoke. He didn’t feel safe at home, and he didn’t feel understood at school. He felt invisible.

Your support opened a door.

Alex met with a counselor for free. He joined a weekly program and made friends who understood him. He started laughing again. He started hoping again.

This is what you make possible. Every gift creates a story like Alex’s.

You Keep Our Programs Free and Our Doors Open

Your donation provides:

• 90+ free mental health counseling sessions each month
• Safe spaces where youth can relax, belong, and be themselves
• Weekly programs, community nights, and summer camps
• College scholarships that open doors to brighter futures
• Adulthood 101 workshops that teach real-life skills
• Support for LGBTQ+ youth and their families

Every program, every counselor, every moment of connection... it all exists because of you.

You can be the hero a young person remembers for the rest of their life.

Every day, LGBTQ+ young people face storms they shouldn’t have to weather alone. Your gift tells them:

“You matter. You’re safe. You’re supported.”

You help them find hope, find community, and find themselves.
