Queer Youth in Action
Celebrating queer and trans youth through
Education, Community, and Action.
Advocating for queer and trans youth through dynamic, personalized programming for organizations, coaches, caregivers, and young people.
Queer Youth in Action was founded to provide support to pre-existing organizations that want to better serve their queer and trans youth.
We dream of a celebratory world for all young people — but we also acknowledge that immediate small actions can make a monumental difference for the safety and well-being of young people today. Because we understand and value the intersectional identities of young people in sport, our programming is culturally competent, trauma informed, and takes into account data and lived experience from diverse demographics.
QYA seeks to provide a variety of programming to support each organizations’ fluctuating and varied needs to build a culture that ensures that all youth feel celebrated, seen, and heard.
What People Are Saying
Queer Youth in Action’s programming for our staff and students helped everyone in the building understand the importance of celebratory culture — not only for LGBTQ2S+ students, but for every student in our building to be able to learn, grow, and thrive.
— Andrea Klein, Principal - Summit Atlas Middle School (Seattle, WA)
Queer Youth in Action helped us create a more welcoming club for all of our players, and to understand how to best reach coaches and parents so that every player can be supported to be at their best. We have a more inclusive club now and are all better for it.
— West Seattle Soccer Club
