The Kaleidoscope Youth Center works in partnership with young people to offer a variety of programming opportunities for youth who utilize the Center. We stay true to our mission, by intentionally partnering with youth to design programs that answer the needs of social, cultural, and educational demands. Programs are structured to fit the many styles and personalities of the LGBTQ youth community. The Center's current programming has a couple of main components. They are advocacy, education, support and safe space. The Center is located at 1904 N. High between 15th and 17th. From SR 315, take the Lane Avenue exit toward the OSU campus(East).
