This is a space for peer-based conversations around mental health with trusted adults, any young person ages 14-18 may attend (free) and it is intentionally inclusive to youth who are LGBTQIA+.

We NEED Your Support!

Splash is volunteer-run and all of our programming dollars come from community members, allies, and advocates like you to ensure that young LGBTQIA2S+ people have access to the resources, connections, and belongingness they need. Please consider donating what you can!

Covid Resources

CALL TO ACTION:
The Pandemic has brought serious challenges to our LGBTQIA+ community, many of us are still experiencing issues that were worsened by the Covid Pandemic. The City of Fort Collins is working to create a long-term recovery plan and has developed a way for our LGBTQIA+ community (and others) to share our ideas of what a vibrant and resilient recovery would look like for us.
They have a
one-minute idea sharing platform and a five-minute survey. Please take a moment and complete these so our voices and the silenced voices of our LGBTQIA+ community can be shared and heard. There is more information on their website as well.

SPLASH is continuing to wear masks in all indoor & outdoor spaces because all members may not have access to a Covid 19 Vaccine or other protective measures. Thank you for your support!
