Full Spectrum Community Outreach

Full Spectrum Community Outreach is the Mahoning Valley's LGBTQIA+ centre, a volunteer-led nonprofit based in a small house at 660 West Earle Avenue on Youngstown's south side, about 12 km from Canfield. It runs free monthly peer support groups for adults and for youth, and hands out non-perishable food, clothing, toiletries, NARCAN and condoms. Its Closet of Change programme lends binders, wigs and other gender-affirming items after an intake. It also runs the Rainbow House shelter, which it describes as Ohio's only LGBTQ+ adult homeless shelter, inclusion trainings for local businesses, and the Pride in the Valley festival in Warren each June.
