Free to belong, wherever you stand.
On your own terms. In your own power. When you come through our doors, we hope we can lift some of the world’s weight off your shoulders in one way or another. But when it happens, what form it takes, and who you choose to tell, is completely up to you. As a queer youth, this is your space to be and belong.
Our Programs

KYC's Youth Leadership and Advocacy Teams

Kaleidoscope Youth Center's Youth Leadership Team consists of three committees:
  • Community Advisory Board (CAB) is for KYC youth ages 12-24 who are committed to driving KYC’s programs and movement in Ohio.
  • Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is for queer youth of color ages 12-24 who are visionaries for a more just society.
  • Youth Leadership Council (YLC) is a statewide collective of LGBTQIA+ youth GSA leaders ages 12-20.

​​At this time, applications are closed. If you are interested in getting involved in future Youth Leadership and Advocacy Teams, email [email protected].
