🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Uplifting LI's LGBTQ+ Community since 1993!✨

In 1993, Long Island Crisis Center started Pride for Youth at a time when support and outreach to LGBTQ+ youth on Long Island was virtually non-existent. Pride for Youth has grown to encompass multiple services addressing many of the needs of LGBTQ+ youth and their families. Pride for Youth created the Coffeehouse program in 1995 – the first suburban coffeehouse for LGBTQ+ youth in the country. We began airing public service announcements on MTV in the mid 90’s - one of the first mass media outreach strategies for LGBTQ+ youth nationwide. In 2001, Pride for Youth launched an action research project, which documented that 94% of Long Island students are exposed to homophobia in their schools and one in ten have been victimized because of their perceived sexual orientation. With the new millennium’s startling HIV resurgence among young gay and bisexual men of color, Pride for Youth led the way to building a healthier generation of young people through its culturally-sensitive Young Men’s Program, initiated in 2003

Pride for Youth seeded and stewarded Gay-Straight Alliances in several high-need Nassau County school districts from 2004 through the present. In 2006, working with corporate partners such as CMP Media, Pride for Youth launched an employment mentoring program for LGBTQ youth. In 2009, transgender teens found their own place to share their specific concerns and build pride through Pride for Youth’s Trans Support Group. In 2014, PFY implemented Long Island's first and only CBO based PrEP/PEP program, expanding this program to Queens in 2015.

The science is clear: being LGBTQ+ is not a disorder - and conversion therapy is not care.

We stand with the American Psychiatric Association in condemning practices that attempt to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. These practices are harmful, discredited, and have no place in ethical, evidence-based care.

Decisions like this put LGBTQ+ youth at greater risk and make affirming, accessible support more important than ever.

At PFY, we remain committed to providing:
💜 FREE counseling & case management
💜 Safe, affirming social spaces
💜 FREE Sexual health services
💜 Affirming support for q***r youth
💜 And so much more

You deserve to be supported exactly as you are.

📩 If you or someone you know needs support, reach out to us.

A Recent supreme court decision has raised questions about conversion therapy and free speech.

It’s important to be clear: conversion therapy is not free speech - it is a practice that has been widely discredited by major medical and mental health organizations.

Research shows it is ineffective and associated with negative mental health outcomes, especially for LGBTQ+ youth.

PFY remains committed to providing affirming, evidence-based support.

💜 We offer free services including:
• Counseling
• Social spaces for LGBTQ+ youth
• Sexual health services (including HIV/STI testing)
• A food pantry
• And so much more

You are not alone - we’re here for you. DM us to learn more!

Our Story

In 1993, Long Island Crisis Center started Pride for Youth at a time when support and outreach to LGBTQ youth on Long Island were virtually non-existent. Pride for Youth has grown to encompass multiple services addressing many of the needs of LGBTQ youth and their families.

Pride for Youth created the Coffeehouse program in 1995 – the first suburban coffeehouse for LGBTQ youth in the country.

We began airing public service announcements on MTV in the mid 90s – one of the first mass media outreach strategies for LGBTQ youth nationwide.

In 2001, Pride for Youth launched an action research project, which documented that 94% of Long Island students are exposed to homophobia in their schools and one in ten have been victimized because of their perceived sexual orientation.

With the new millennium’s startling HIV resurgence among young gay and bisexual men of color, Pride for Youth led the way to build a healthier generation of young people through its culturally-sensitive Young Men’s Program, initiated in 2003

Pride for Youth seeded and stewarded Gay-Straight Alliances in several high-need Nassau County school districts from 2004 through the present.

In 2006, working with corporate partners such as CMP Media, Pride for Youth launched an employment mentoring program for LGBTQ youth.

In 2009, transgender teens found their own place to share their specific concerns and build pride through Pride for Youth’s Trans Support Group, this group is later developed into TransAction.

In 2010, Pride for Youth launched the first and only chapter of Mpowerment on Long Island. The main objective of this program is to help young gay and bisexual men stay HIV and STI-free in the midst of the ongoing epidemic. This group later became the MpowermentLI Project with locations in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

In 2014, “Pride for Parents Night” began as a monthly educational and supportive space for parents and adult family members of LGBTQ-identified youth to come together and learn how to best support their children.

A support group for young gay and bisexual men, as well as transgender individuals living with HIV began in 2014. This group has developed into Mpower+, a space for individuals to speak openly about their status without the fear of stigma, and learn how to maintain their sexual health.

Pride for Youth began collaborating with Northwell Health in 2013 in order to launch multiple sexual health programs including in-house HIV testing, a comprehensive PrEP and PEP program, and the groundbreaking on-site sexual health medical services offered through Project PUSH.

2018 – PFY: Linda Leonard Center opens in Deer Park offering PFY’s life-saving services in Suffolk County. The site opened in July 2018, housing Suffolk based MpowermentLI and MpowerVIDA programs along with PrEP/PEP, HIV Testing, STI Screening and Counseling services.
