Since 1992, Youth Pride, Inc. has been a lighthouse for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults across Rhode Island and beyond. No matter how dim the landscape may become, we remain unwavering in our mission to illuminate the way forward. 

We know this is a frightening and confusing time for trans youth and their families. While we may not have all the answers, we will never stop providing support to our community, however we can. Our organization is proudly led by and serves the trans community. We are not going anywhere.

Trans youth exist. We love them, support them, and stand beside them and their families — always. 

Thank you to the families of trans youth and to everyone in the community working to keep trans youth safe. We are grateful to the RI Office of the Child Advocate, the ACLU of RI, the Lawyers’ Committee for RI, Democracy Forward, GLAD Law, the RI Legislature, and others for your solidarity with our community.

Our doors remain open Monday to Friday at Youth Pride, Inc. for drop-in, programs, case management, and more. For immediate support, contact BH Link, Trevor Project, and Trans Lifeline. For a free and confidential legal information line, contact GLAD Law Answers.
