ALSO Youth successfully opened a new youth center in Manatee County.  While ALSO Youth keeps expanding so is attendance and their need to keep the center stocked with supplies and snacks.

During the months of November and December, SarasotaOUT.com is challenging the community to gather snacks and supplies for ALSO Youth. This is a great opportunity for your team, business, family, anyone and everyone to do something good for our LGBTQ youth and give back to our community.
​

WHO IS ALSO YOUTH?

For over 25 years, ALSO Youth has provided outreach and a safe space drop-in center with weekly programming including peer support groups for the LGBTQ+ youth in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Through partnerships with local school districts and other youth-serving organizations, they strive every day to create an inclusive community where our youth can live, study, work and play without violence, fear, harassment or discrimination based on real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.
