What it reported doing in 2025

Youth pride, inc. Is a nonprofit in Rhode Island specifically dedicated to meeting the needs of lgbtqia2s+ youth 24 and under. Our mission is to meet the unique, ongoing needs of lgbtq+ youth and young adults through direct service, support, advocacy, and education. In 2025: - our drop-in center and connected basic needs pantry (which provides food, clothes, toiletries, and school supplies) serviced more than 900 youth and gave out more than 7,000 lbs of goods. - secured a "winter response" grant that allowed us to operate as a warming center over the winter of 2025-2026. This grant not only allowed us to expand our hours and keep youth warm, but also increase the hours of one part time staff member to full time. - thanks to a successful year of fundraising, and with the support of grants new england and the commitment of ypi's staff and board, we achieved a historic milestone by establishing a $1 million budget for the first time. - we were able to distribute $71,153.73 in housing assistance to youth through the youth homelessness demonstration program; a u.s. Department of housing and urban development (hud) initiative/grant. We're had this grant for 3 years and this was our most successful yeast to date. - every wednesday we host "queer gourmet: where youth learn cooking skills (such as knife skills, seasoning, food budgeting, etc.) in our kitchen while learning a new recipe. Typically this program is run by staff, but in 2025 we were able to secure several guest chefs from the community to join us; some guest chefs include professionals from brightstar (formerly igt) and johnon and wales university.
