A PLACE WHERE IT'S OK2BU
The Attic Youth Center’s mission is to create opportunities for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning (LGBTQ) youth to develop into healthy, independent, civic-minded adults within a safe and supportive community and to promote the acceptance of LGBTQ youth in society.
Many LGBTQ youth continue to experience prejudice and oppression in their daily lives, which often leaves youth feeling isolated and vulnerable. The Attic community helps provide youth with a sense of belonging, connection, and understanding.
The Attic offers a wide range of programs and services designed to provide youth with the support and skills needed to transition into independent, thriving adults. The Attic strives to have a positive impact on all aspects of youth’s lives; to facilitate growth, empowerment, and resiliency; and to help youth find their voice, which is often silenced.

Ground breaks on new building for The Attic Youth Center
A transformation is officially underway at 1206 Chestnut St — the site of The Attic Youth Center’s future home. Ground broke in mid-August for the first stage of a two-phase construction project on the more than 13,000-square-foot building. The organization is prioritizing renovations that will create spaces for LGBTQ+ youth programming before creating hubs for staff and big events, with a goal to move in during fall 2027.
