About Louisville Youth Group:

History
Louisville Youth Group Inc was established in the late 80s by local community members and PFLAG. They recognized the need to provide safe and affirming space for Kentuckiana’s LGBTQIA+ youth. Since then, LYG has served thousands of young people from Kentuckiana and the surrounding area. In addition to our standard programming, we annually host a Pasta Dinner/Talent Show, Prom, Youth Leadership Retreat, New Year’s Eve Lock-in, and actively participate in Kentuckiana’s Pride Month celebrations and Pride visibility opportunities. LYG is in the midst of a period of expansion. The need for our services grows every year, requiring us to design new programs and invest in additional services. LYG must grow our staff to properly meet the needs of our youth, and begin the search for new, ADA-accessible space. We are grateful to our community who continues to support our work, and whose love and gifts will ensure our legacy continues far into the future.

VISION:
A community where youth of all genders and sexualities thrive.

MISSION:
LYG empowers QTBIPoC/LGBTQIA+ youth to grow into healthy and resilient leaders through community connection, life skills education, and social advocacy.
