Letter From Our Board

Outlast Youth will be pausing all operations on June 30, 2021. In the time of COVID-19, we are experiencing financial difficulties and are unable to support our mission at full capacity. As a Board, we have decided to take this opportunity to regroup and strategize the most effective ways to uphold and continue our mission: To reduce and prevent LGBTQ+ youth homelessness in Dallas and surrounding counties. 

We are very proud to know that more resources exist for our LGBTQ+ youth than ever. In our temporary absence, partners and stakeholders have agreed to step up and fill the gap, offering similar services to providers and young adults. If you are a homeless or youth-serving provider, an LGBTQ+ youth or young adult in crisis, or a member of a community of faith, please see below for partners in our community continuing this work. 

We hope to emerge soon as an organization even more committed and dedicated to representing, advocating for, and changing the experience of LGBTQ+ young people in North Texas. If you have any questions or are a person with lived experience of homelessness interested in reshaping our community, please contact us at board@outlastyouth.org.

Thank you for your support,


Outlast Youth Board of Directors
