We’ve compiled a list of community and support centers for every kid in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Suffolk and Nassau counties on Long Island, Westchester, and Rockland and Bergen counties. These organizations provide social services, physical and mental health support, and a place to belong where LGBTQ teens can be celebrated for who they are, regardless of orientation.
