Young Professionals Advisory Council (YPAC)
Approximately 15,000 LGBTQIA+ youth live in North Texas, yet there are minimal resources available for meeting their unique needs. Youth First is the only local LGBTQIA+-focused youth program that addresses the challenges LGBTQIA+ teens face with family members, peers and fellow students.
Serving youth and young adults ages 12-18, Youth First equips them with the skills they need to lead an open life. Family ties are strengthened, peer support networks are built and mental health is supported through activities that build confidence and address the specific issues that LGBTQIA+ teens face during their critical, formative years.
