Who We Are

Ever since 1995, Out Now has been the only queer youth organization in Springfield Massachusetts.  Out Now continues to provide a safe space for queer youth and allies to come and feel comfortable in their own skin, and not have to pretend that they are something they’re not. Throughout the years Out Now has seen many youth come, grow, and branch out into their own adult lives. We create a family environment for anyone who comes to join us, making them feel accepted and loved for who they are on the inside as well as on the outside. The educational discussion groups allow for the youth to learn about themselves and others, leadership skills,the history of the LGBT movement, and much much more. It is important for every human being to feel accepted, understood, and supported in their lives, and that is exactly what Out Now is dedicated to do.
