LGBTQ+ Youth Programs in Maine
Creating Welcoming Communities for Queer and Trans Youth, Kids, and Teens With All Intersectional Identities
For Youth
For Parents
For Educators & Other Allies
Trainings for Professionals
At OUT Maine, we have an ambitious goal:
to create more welcoming and affirming communities for Maineâs diverse queer kids and teens in all their intersectional identities. We do this by changing the very systems that serve them.
One in four
teenagers in Maine identify as as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning.
That's roughly 13,860
high school students across Maine who identify as LGBTQ+ (Maine Integrated Youth Health Survey, 2023).
Many of our LGBTQ+ youth face serious challenges. The prevention-focused resources OUT Maine provides to these kids, and for the adults and professionals who serve as their safety net, can help save lives.
By supporting LGBTQ+ youth and their families, empowering queer youth in our communities, and educating providers, OUT Maine works to lift up genderqueer, nonbinary, gay, bisexual and other kids in Maineâs isolated and under-resourced regions.
