Side by Side

Side by Side is a Richmond-based nonprofit supporting LGBTQ+ youth across Virginia. It began in 1991 as ROSMY. It runs peer support groups, counselling, a host-home and housing programme for young people facing homelessness, and youth events. It also offers resources for parents and families. It is a service organisation, not a drop-in venue, and programme spaces are for young people. Visitors who want to donate or volunteer, or families looking for support, should start at sidebysideva.org, where group schedules and contact details are posted.
