Beyond The Space: Expanding Belonging 🌈

Help us bring affirming mentorship and belonging to Queer and Trans youth nationwide!

Two years ago, we opened the QS Youth Center, creating a place where Queer and Trans youth in Minnesota could find community, friendship, and support. Since then, hundreds of young people have found connection, affirmation, and a place to belong within its walls.

We created the space. Now, we're taking belonging beyond it.

With the launch of the QS Mentoring App, we're expanding access to affirming mentorship for Queer and Trans youth nationwide. For those in rural or unsupportive environments, being Queer, Trans, or questioning can feel isolating. We're changing that with the QS App. Youth can connect with 2SLGBTQIA+ adult mentors through staff-supported messaging to ask questions, share experiences, and receive encouragement from someone who understands.

This Give to the Max Day, help us raise $55,000 to strengthen what we've built and expand what's possible.

Together, we can ensure more Queer and Trans youth have access to the connection, support, and belonging they deserve—wherever they are.

Make a gift today and help us take belonging beyond the space!

QUEERSPACE collective is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization offering 1:1 youth mentorship, inclusivity consulting, group workshops, a dedicated 2SLGBTQIA+ youth drop-in center in Minneapolis, and now, a virtual mentorship available nationwide . We're not just creating space, we're actively transforming the interpersonal, community, and systemic structures that shape Queer lives.

Our mission is to create space for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to feel safe and empowered to be their true selves.  Our youth-centered approach not only reduces isolation and suicidal ideation but also fosters belonging, resilience, and empowerment.

Our vision is for all 2SLGBTQIA+ youth to have a supportive community to help them develop a strong sense of pride in who they are, where they come from, and where they want to go.
