Job Description

YPI envisions a world that is safe, accepting, and without prejudice, where youth and young adults impacted by sexual orientation and gender identity/expression can express themselves freely and reach their true potential. YPI’s mission is to meet the unique, ongoing needs of LGBTQ+ youth and young adults through direct service, support, advocacy, and education.

Having started as a small weekly support group out of the YWCA in December of 1992, we have become a robust, multi-faceted youth Center and advocacy organization offering crisis intervention and essential services to LGBTQ youth across the State of Rhode Island. While not only providing a safe space for LGBTQ youth to learn, grow, and experience community, our programs and services extend to a variety of clinical/counseling and case management services, a full-service basic needs pantry, community dinners, academic tutoring, career counseling, and leadership development. In the community, we fill a critical gap in providing accessible and affordable professional development training and working to create safer, more inclusive schools through our GSA Coalition.
