Inside Out Youth Services - Colorado Springs, Colorado

So glad a resource like this exists for youth in our community!! I helped renovate the space before the re-opening earlier this year, as they were closed for safety reasons, & I was blown away by everyone's dedication to protecting & accommodating the needs of the youth, as well as the dedication to making the space even safer. Charlie even gave me a chest binder after I volunteered, & I was able to re-donate it back into the space once I got my much-needed top surgery. I am so thankful for everyone there & I really hope Inside Out gets more help & funding. I'm so happy to hear that they will have a new location pretty soon as well. Here's to a new era!

The vest best youth group I ever attended! I miss it to this day and am very proud to say my kids now attend! I couldn't be more honored and comforted. There are very few places in the world that are actually safe for teens. I've never trusted a organization more. Thank you guys! Congratulations on so many years of success!! Our family can't wait to be involved! 💗

Great organization and community center for LGBTQ+ youth (13 to 22 years old) to find resources and connection. They also offer volunteer and internship opportunities for all ages.

For being such a great concept of an organization, I wish I could say I've had better interactions with their staff. I signed up to volunteer recently, but the volunteer meet and greet wasn't for a whole month or so because of winter break and now that the person who coordinates those meetings is back, they say they're not taking volunteers anymore. I've also had interactions with the president & something about her persona just screams phony to me. I'm sure their services are very useful for young LGBTQ+ people but their customer service could use a lot of work.

I had questions regarding the loss of a relative to suicide shortly after coming out has being trans at age 13. I met with Danette and Chris who very professionally addressed my questions and educated me.

I highly recommend this organization for anyone needing information.

This place is home sweet home for me, I've been going here for upwards of 2 years now, and have loved every single day of it.

Some days when I'm happy and want to spread my happiness, you can go to ISOYS and bring that happiness into the youth space and share it with others who need it.

Other days, when I'm down in the dumps and the whole world is grey to me, I go to ISOYS and get the happiness of others around me, and everyone is caring and the staff will always listen to your troubles.

The events at Inside Out are nothing short of wonderfully fun times, with Q-mmunity Resilience on Mondays, Transformations on Tuesdays (And Youth Advisory Council meetings), Q-mmunity Dinner on Wendnesdays (With my grandpa being the cook currently) and Recreational nights on Fridays (Pizza every friday!!)

I would absolutely recommend this place to any LGBTQIA+ folks from the age of 13-22 years old, and if you're not LGBTQIA+? You're totally welcome to come and hang out with us!

Cant wait to see new folks come!!

Not impressed with how this business represents itself. A black in color Audi with the business sign on the door was screaming down a neighborhood road at a speed no less than 100mph, treating the business car as a hot rod. Additionally, the business vehicle almost t-boned a mini-van filled with children while making a turn. The business vehicle had to abruptly swerve not to hit it. Very dangerous in my opinion. And here is a final word of advice to the owner...if you have your logo on your, or one of your employees vehicles, every thing you do in that vehicle represents you. Again, not impressed.

A really impactful organization run by an incredibly kind, generous, and professional team of staff and volunteers. They are doing such important work in this city!
