We host all kinds of events at our fabulous HQ in Olympia.
For LGBTQIA2S+ youth, we host dances, Open Mics, workshops, self-care days, camping trips, Glitter Camp, and performances and so much more. Most of these events are led by youth staff and Fellows.
We also provide educational events, performances, art shows, community dinners, and other events for the greater community.
Youth Power + Social Justice
Stonewall Youth is By + For Queer and Trans Youth. Stonewall Youth is dedicated to providing the training, resources and support necessary for LGBTQ+ youth to build and exercise their leadership and power within our organization and our communities.
Show up for LGBTQ+ Youth!
You’re invited to support LGBTQ+ youth! Stonewall Youth invites folks to engage as volunteers, Board members, donors, and as participants in our public educational events and fundraisers.
Stonewall Community Center
Stonewall Youth was finally able to purchase our lovely and historic building in 2018.
Along with housing Stonewall Youth, we’re making the Stonewall Community Center (SCC) a multipurpose community center designed to fulfill needs expressed by many people and social justice organizations in our community, particularly those that are “by and for” people of color and/or LGBTQ+ folks. The needs expressed include affordable and accessible office space, event and performance space, and access to space/equipment needed by low-income emerging entrepreneurs.
Your donations support LGBTQ+ youth to survive, thrive, and lead.
You can help sustain a supportive and empowering space for LGBTQ+ youth to lead, learn, talk about their experiences, make friends, build leadership and professional skills, learn about and fight for social justice, make art and music, build community, gain the support, referrals, advocacy skills, mentorship and confidence needs to successfully navigate the struggles they face. You’re invited to make a general donation, or support one of our current campaigns.
Help Us Rise with an Elevator!
Stonewall Youth bought our building in 2018. We use the 1st floor, which is ADA accessible, for our activities. Now we’re ready to renovate the second floor so it will be accessible as well. It is unjust that so many places in our community aren’t accessible to all members of our community. YOU can help us in our quest to install an elevator and make other needed improvements!

Support Youth Leaders + Activists
LGBTQ+ youth run Stonewall Youth! Support youth empowerment by contributing funds to pay youth staff members, Fellows, and youth participants for their work and leadership training at Stonewall Youth and for their social justice work in our communities.
Give basic Necessities to low-income LGBTQ+ youth
Stonewall Youth provides many basic necessities to low-income LGBTQ+ youth, many of whom are homeless. This includes food, bus tickets, gas cards, gender-affirming items (such as cosmetics, wigs, and binders), school supplies, clothes, and more.
Send youth to Glitter Camp and other fabulous places!

Glitter Camp is our annual youth-led camp for LGBTQ+ youth and Stonewall staff, volunteers and Board members. Since 2010, we’ve gone an an annual excursion to for three or four days to a comfortable camp (heated cabins!) to plan and revision Stonewall Youth programs, bond, share, and participate in awesome workshops.
