MINNEAPOLIS — For a teenager, a kind mentor and supportive environment can make a world of difference.
The QUEERSPACE collective wants Minneapolis youth to have those opportunities. And on Oct. 13, the organization will be taking another giant step toward that goal by opening a youth center.
The center will be a safe space for youth who identify as two-spirit or LGBTQIA+. Services include mentorship, healthcare referrals, support for families, skill building and community resources.
The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place Oct. 13 at 12:30 p.m. before a Spirit Day celebration from 1 to 4 p.m. featuring drag performances, art and music.
The new center is located at 1936 Lyndale Ave. S. QUEERSPACE offers support for young adults up to age 24.
