OUR APPROACH
QUEERSPACE collective's mission is to create space for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to feel safe and empowered to be their true selves.
Our vision is for all 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to have a network of support to help them develop a strong sense of pride in who they are, where they come from, and where they want to go.
In partnership with community partners, families, and volunteers, we provide 1:1 youth mentorship, inclusivity training, group programming, and a drop-in youth center in Minneapolis. True to our name, we know it takes a collective to raise a generation of thriving 2SLGBTQIA+ youth.
