Adult Advisors are men and women age 24 and over, of proven responsibility, integrity, and commitment to meeting the needs of GLBTQ youth. They serve as guides, teachers, resource persons, sympathetic listeners, supporters, and advocates for young people who turn to OUT! As I Want to Be. They take responsibility for the safety and security of OUT! As I Want to Be activities and their participants. In cooperation with OUT! As I Want to Be members, they develop and guide educational, social, and recreational programs.

Adult Advisors do not make basic decisions about OUT! As I Want to Be's direction or activities, but work with young people to make the best decisions for the group. Adult Advisors are expected to behave toward young people at all times as responsible professionals and/or surrogate parents. The needs of the young people who are OUT! As I Want to Be members are always the Advisors' first consideration.
