Inspire Youth Project - Formerly Rise n' Shine

Inspire Youth Project, on Seattle's South End, is an LGBTQ+ organization supporting young people in the community.

It’s a young organization itself, still figuring things out, but the focus is clear: create a safe space. This isn't a bar or a club. It's where young LGBTQ+ people come for programs, resources, and to find other kids who get it.

Seattle has plenty of LGBTQ+ nightlife, but places like this fill a different need. This is about building community, not just going out.

You’ll find them on 23rd Avenue South. Check their website for current programs, hours, and how to get involved, whether you’re a young person, an ally, or just a traveler looking to connect with what’s happening on the ground in Seattle.
