About this organization
Mission
The Alliance for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Youth coordinates a full range of quality services through partnerships with many service organizations to Miami-Dade County’s youth, families and their communities while advocating for equal rights and status of all youth regardless of their real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. The Alliance adheres to the following guiding principles: 1. All decisions we make must have as their ultimate goal the improvement of the lives of GLBTQ youth. 2. We are focused on identifying potential resources for GLBTQ youth to create the most comprehensive system of services for GLBTQ youth. 3. We are committed to nurturing and sustaining strong GLBTQ youth serving agencies and programs based on a foundation of strong and effective collaboration with continual evaluation and growth. 4. We have a demonstrated commitment to providing leadership opportunities to empower GLBTQ youth as full participants in the governance of their own services.
About
See Schedule OThe Alliance for GLBTQ Youth was created due to the lack of service provision and resources for gay, lesbian bisexual, transgender and questioning (GLBTQ) youth in Miami-Dade County. Our 2005 pilot study of Miami GLBTQ youth, showed that 46% had experienced suicidal ideation and 23% had attempted suicide, 57% struggled with substance abuse, and 99% experienced verbal and/or physical harassment. In our 2007 follow-up study, over 34% had been kicked out of their homes, and 53% of bullied youth had not told anyone. These experiences implicate youth safety, as well as, their capacity to thrive successfully. Since our founding, The Alliance oversees a comprehensive service continuum for prevention and early intervention to protect the development of self-identity for all adolescents. The Alliance provides innovative services through a multi-systemic framework that responds not only to the individual or family level crisis, but also to the societal community and policy marginalization of GLBTQ youth. Our coordinated services intend to further develop and sustain our evolving community-based coalition efforts throughout Miami-Dade County. In the past year, these services included: (1) Clinical services to 415 GLBTQ youth at 28 school or community sites through (a) care coordination for youth and their families to provide holistic individualized guidance, support and critical linkage to services and/or (b) community-based group counseling and individual;(2) Prevention education designed to increase community members' knowledge of GLBTQ youth issues, identity development, impact of discrimination, and available services provided by The Alliance to 2,211 participants through 97 events. Community members targeted were: parents/caregivers, social service workers, teachers/school personnel, faith/clergy staff, as well as youth; (3) 51 youth enrichment activities for safe socialization, skill-building, and leadership development to 1,141 GLBTQ youth; (4) Outreach to advocate for culturally competent policies and practice that are inclusive of GLBTQ youth to 551 community members at 13 events; and (5) Scholarly, peer reviewed research on the prevalence and promising practices to advance the system of care.
