Youth Pride Inc. Direct service, support, education, and advocacy for LGBTQIA2S+ youth and young adults in Rhode Island since 1992! Youth Pride Inc.

Our drop-in center in Providence offers programs, services, a basic needs pantry, community & more!

🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🩵🤍 (YPI) is an affirming space for le***an, gay, bisexual, trans, q***r, questioning young people to build community, develop connections and be themselves. Youth come together from a wide range of backgrounds and join with one another over common issues and activities, sometimes as simple as playing video games or sharing a meal. All of our programs are free of charge and include individual counseling, weekly discussion groups, leadership trainings, social events and wellness activities. In the end, youth experiences at YPI can be transformative.

🔗 Tickets are available at the door or at: bit.ly/goosebumpsgala (link in linktree in bio)

🔮 Tonight, Thursday, October 15th, 2026, from 5–9 PM, step into the spine-tingling world of the Goosebumps Gala — an unforgettable night benefiting Youth Pride, Inc. and the LGBTQ+ youth and young adults who rely on us every day. Inspired by the iconic book series that defined a generation, this immersive fundraiser blends nostalgia, camp, eerie elegance, and unexpected thrills into one hauntingly good evening.

🕯️ Guests will experience a themed cocktail, interactive activities, music, dancing, drag, raffles, silent auction, live entertainment, and surprises lurking around every corner — all while helping ensure that LGBTQ+ young people across New England and beyond have access to affirming community, resources, and support. For more than 30 years, Youth Pride, Inc. has served as a lighthouse for youth navigating identity, isolation, and uncertainty, especially as many continue to face hostility both nationally and in their own backyards.

👻 Whether you arrive as the mysterious protagonist, the final survivor, or the creature under the bed, the Goosebumps Gala invites you to embrace the strange, the bold, and the beautifully different.

🌬️ Haunted. Supernatural. Chilling.

🌈 Because every young person deserves a place where they don’t have to be afraid to be themselves.

💨 BABY PHART – Breaking wind and breaking hearts, Baby Phart is the Internet Troll Doll of your waking nightmares as written by R.L. Stein. You may have seen it recently at Outback Witchhouse, Riel Deal Cabaret, whispering sweet nothings to the worms in your brain, or a funny fourth thing!

👑 PRINCE ALBERT – Prince Albert is a comedy king who likes to poke fun at male stereotypes and pop culture icons through campy draglesque. Originally a Texas native, Prince and GODDESS fiancee, and fellow burlesque performer, Sasha Southend, moved to Providence from Tucson, AZ last summer. They've been performing their way across New England ever since! Prince and Sasha recently launched their own production company, Themme Productions.
