Youth & Caregiver Gender Support Group Interest Survey
Youth & Caregiver Gender Support Group Interest Survey
Kaleidoscope Youth Center (KYC) is interested in offering an eight (8) week support group for both trans youth and their adults/caregivers. This group would provide both a shared and separate space for youth and their adult to learn about gender identity and navigating the world in these identities. We encourage all youth and their caregivers to come as they are and learn in a safe space with the support of staff and one another. Caregivers/Adults will have a space to learn alongside other caregivers who are navigating how best to support their young person explore their identity. Youth will have a space to learn more about identity exploration and find community with other trans and gender expansive youth. If you are interested in attending a group like this, please fill out the interest survey below:

KYC Findlay 🌈 Northwest Ohio Community Survey
KYC Findlay 🌈 Northwest Ohio Community Survey
Kaleidoscope Youth Center (KYC) is Ohio's largest and longest-serving organization dedicated to supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and young adults, ages 12-24. With a drop-in center and housing programs in Columbus and statewide education, outreach, and advocacy efforts, we are excited to focus more intentionally on Northwest Ohio in 2025. As we work to bring LGBTQIA+ youth-centered programming to Northwest Ohio, it’s important that we are being led and informed by the community, by youth specifically, about what you'd like to see. What should we prioritize? What resources do you already use? Who else should we connect with? Tell us about you and your community! This form is anonymous, but if you want to connect with our team personally, please reach out to info@kycohio.org.
