 If you’re in middle school or high school, the best way you can support Rainbow Youth Alliance is to join us! Head over to our events page to see what’s coming up.

If you’re an adult, there are many ways you can support RYA:

• Be a guest speaker! We’d especially love to hear from pediatricians, psychologists and psychiatrists, sociologists, activists, DEI experts, or anyone else who has knowledge or experience that could benefit LGBTQIA+ youth.

• Run a committee—let us know if you have an idea for a committee!

• Donate—keep our mission going strong.

• Help manage our website.

• Join the Board of Directors.

• Drive your tween or teen to RYA events.

• Tell your friends to tell their kids!

The rates of depression, suicide, and other mental health challenges are significantly higher among LGBTQIA+ people, and especially LGBTQIA+ youth, than among the general population. These rates are higher when young people feel isolated, judged, or not accepted.

Rainbow Youth Alliance is making a powerful difference in the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth in SOMA by providing a community that makes them feel seen, validated, and accepted. Please consider supporting RYA today!
