At OUT Maine, we seek to change the very systems that serve diverse queer youth in all of their intersectional identities by creating more welcoming and affirming communities.
Our programming and training aims to empower youth in Maine’s isolated and under-resourced regions to be their most authentic selves; support their network of family and allies; and educate health care providers, educators, clergy and other professionals to better understand the needs of queer youth and provide affirmative support. OUT Maine’s work gives everyone a role in building resilience and life skills necessary to lift up queer youth in our state.
OUT Maine. Building welcoming and affirming communities urgently needed for Maine’s LGBTQ+ youth.
