FOR LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANS-IDENTIFIED, TWO- SPIRITED, QUEER AND QUESTIONING YOUTHYouth
Understanding Youth is a volunteer grassroots community organization
that has been in operation for over 10 years. It was created by a group
of adult volunteers who recognized the need to provide social and
support services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-identified,
two-spirited, queer, and questioning youth in Edmonton and surrounding
communities. The goal of YUY has always been a simple one: to ensure
that regardless of what is happening in the lives of young people, they
will know that there is always a safe space for them for at least two
hours each week.

YUY is supported by the Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services, University of Alberta; Edmonton Community Foundation; City of Edmonton; and the United Way. ![]() |
