Time Out Youth Center

Time Out Youth was super supportive of my sister and my family during her early transition/teen years and I am forever grateful! They provide a safe space and vital resources for LGBTQ youth. I will always support them!

If you're an LGBTQ+ youth in Charlotte, I highly recommend checking out Time Out Youth. It's a safe and supportive space where you can be yourself. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They make you feel like you belong, no matter who you are.

From a parent perspective: This place is amazing! As a supportive parent it was important that our daughter found a place to make friends in a safe and inclusive environment. She's had trouble her whole life feeling included in her age group. She's struggled at times with depression, loneliness and her identity. She's been going to TOY for a few months and this momma has cried happy tears on many occasions because she's finally found "her people". She's thriving, has done much better in school and overall is just a much happier person. Thank you to TOY for being the awesome human beings that you are!

Was a great and excepting environment for teenager me, I’m 22 now and hopefully can give back and volunteer ☺️

A great place for any LGBTQA+ individual yo come and hangout, chill, play and just breathe. You can be unapologetically you here and to make everything better your name and pronouns are very much respect. So if you need a family away from family please come down. The staff is amazing and the resources are great. Make TOY a home for you.

Yo I’ve never been, it helped my bro and I’m planning on checkin it out soon. Love lil places like this for kids who need this kinda support
