Our Story

We started small. Just a few teenagers and parents noticing a lack of spaces available for LGBTQ+ teens. With help of local community members, they banded together to create the space they wanted to see in Gallatin Valley. With a lot of hard work, and a fair bit of paperwork, Pride House was born.

Pride House is a space for young people to gather safely to learn about LGBTQ+ identity, receive guidance, and relax. It is a youth-led, adult-supported space focused on education, resource gathering, safety, and acceptance… a space where young people can interact without fear of being outed or criticized. Safe, reasonable, and communal, Pride House is a home for LGBTQ+ young people to build a network of support.

We do this in the following ways:

• Providing space for young people to be themselves and access appropriate supplies (food, company, quiet homework space, etc.)

• Facilitating allyship through trainings and education

• Supporting students in crisis with resources they may struggle to access (healthcare referrals, housing support, food insecurity, etc.)

• Guiding community-building among the local LGBTQ+ young people
