| OUR
PURPOSE:
1n10 Youth Services is a not-for-profit
organization
dedicated to serving and assisting lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, and questioning (lgbtq)
youth. We provide youth with tools to improve self
esteem and acceptance of who they are.
The youth we work
with range in age from 14 to 22.
We create a safe space, mentally and physically,
for youth of all socio-economic and cultural
backgrounds. Our weekly discussion groups cover
a wide range of social, educational, health, and
community issues. Youth with particular needs
have the option to speak with peers or volunteers
one-on-one, in a supervised setting. We offer
resources for healthy living and making healthy
choices, as well as social networking opportunities
appropriate for developing leadership skills and
having fun.
We are committed
to working in collaboration with
other valley and national organizations that help
teens such as, homeless shelters, suicide
prevention crisis lines (some by teens for teens),
Youth at Risk, Concilio Latino de Salud, Teen
Lifeline, Peer Solutions, Gay/Straight Alliances,
GLSEN, Body Positive and the Native American
Community Health Center.
