关于我们
At OUT Maine, we have an ambitious goal: to create more welcoming and affirming communities for Maine’s diverse queer youth in all of their intersectional identities. We seek to change the very systems that serve them: schools, health care, foster care, community organizations, and more. No other Maine organization does the work we do supporting rural queer adolescents throughout this crucial period in their development. OUT Maine is a leader in designing community-based, targeted programming and training that lifts up queer youth in Maine’s isolated and under-resourced regions. Our objective is to provide social support, positive queer role models, and inclusive policies and programs these youth need to succeed. We take a statewide, three-pronged approach: support LGBTQ+ youth and their families and allies; empower the youth to be their most authentic, resilient selves; and educate health care providers, educators, clergy, and other professionals who change young people’s lives through their support. OUT Maine’s work gives everyone a role in building resilience and life skills to help our queer youth thrive. OUT Maine, Building welcoming and affirming communities where Maine’s LGBTQ+ youth thrive.
