At YouthPride, you will become "one of the family"! If you are between the ages of 13 and 24 years old then please visit us and experience for yourself metro Atlanta's most established LGBTQ youth center.

In Loving Memory


 YouthPride Mourns the Loss of Phillip Rush - a True Champion


 
On behalf of the entire YouthPride family, the Board of Directors would like to extend our deepest condolences and many prayers to the family and friends of Phillip Rush as they grieve the loss of a person who touched so many lives.
 
The passing of this great Champion of the GLBT movement has saddened us all, as Phillip’s dedication to his community and advancing equality was unmatched.  Phillip loved and supported the youth of YouthPride and he always believed that one day, true equality for our GLBT youth would be achieved.  Phillip’s passion and selflessness is what made him a legend in the GLBT community-a legacy which will never be forgotten.
 
“Philip was there from the beginning.  He was the first person to listen to our story and mission.  He has, on several  occasions, been a savior - strategically and financially - for YP.  We will truly miss his insights, encouragement, and applause", noted Frances-Ann Moran, President, YouthPride Board of Directors.

SEVERE WEATHER IN ATLANTA?
On rare occasions, YouthPride has to close unexpectedly due to severe weather conditions.
Our closing policy is as follows:
If the City of Atlanta School System closes due to harsh road conditions/weather then YouthPride will not open the center that day.
In addition, we have teamed up with WSB-TV to become a part of their StormWatch Network.
If metro Atlanta is experiencing inclement weather, please tune your TV to WSB for updates on YouthPride. You can also view a list of closings via the Channel 2 website.
