Uplift Outreach Center works to expand support for LGBTQ youth

Uplift Outreach Center, Spartanburg’s LGBTQ+ youth center, is working to expand its services at a time when federal funding cuts have left many similar programs across the country in jeopardy.

The nonprofit has served as a lifeline for young people in Upstate South Carolina since 2019, offering weekly support groups, after-school programs, leadership development, and a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth. In addition to direct support, Uplift provides resources for parents and caregivers and collaborates with local organizations to create safer, more affirming communities.
