The QS App officially launches this summer! 📲✨

Built from what Q***r and Trans youth told us they need, our new virtual mentorship platform is designed for youth who can’t access our in-person programming in the Twin Cities due to transportation barriers or unsupportive environments.

Young people, no matter where they are, will be able to connect with a trusted 2SLGBTQIA+ adult for support. Additionally, caregivers and allies will be able to find community and resources. 💜

Right now, we’re looking for 2SLGBTQIA+ adults ages 25+ to help make that support possible as virtual mentors! Complete our interest form to get started:
