Out Youth serves Central Texas LGBTQ+ youth and their allies ages 12 - 23 with programs and services to ensure these promising young people develop into happy, healthy, successful adults.

Currently, Out Youth has the following resources to potentially support your campus:

1. Clinical School-Based Services: We provide curricula-based support groups on campuses throughout Central Texas in partnership with Communities In Schools. We are currently at capacity for the 2019 - 2020 school year, but will continue to maintain a wait list for the 2020 - 2021 school year per the request of CIS Program Managers.  

Contact: sarah.kapostasy@outyouth.org 

2. Gender and Sexuality Alliances: Out Youth is the technical assistance provider for the Texas GSA Network. If your school is interested in starting a GSA and/or receiving information about effective GSA practices, we can help! Additionally, with advanced notice, Out Youth staff can visit your GSA to talk about our services or provide programming.  Outside of the GSA, we can also provide information to students or school personnel about our drop-in center or other services.

Contacts: heather.frederick@outyouth.org &  adrian.osella@outyouth.org 

3. Professional Development and Training: We provide a 1 - 1.5 hour basic training for school personnel regarding gender and sexuality. We request a $100 monetary donation OR a professional development exchange (e.g. someone from your staff provides training on a topic of interest for our staff) for this service.

4. Access to our Be YOU curriculum: In January of 2020, schools and community-based organizations can purchase access to Be YOU, a research-informed, evidence based, 20 session curriculum designed to address minority stress and to improve emotional regulation for LGBTQ+ youth.
