Radically raise joy with us! Mental health services for queer youth shouldn’t be dictated by an insurance policy or zip code.
Become a Joyraiser and bring individualized support and resources to queer youth in Metro Denver.

Roll Call: Who are The Joyraisers?
We are a community of LGBTQIA2+ folks and allies who are ready to bring radical change for our queer youth.
“It’s lifechanging to be around so much queer joy!”
Everyone deserves to feel celebrated and essential. That’s why we started our monthly giving community, Joyraisers. As a Joyraiser, you show just how inclusive, healing, and joyful life can be!
Joyraisers allow Joy as Resistance to provide free- and low-cost services to youth across Metro Denver. Together, we’re working to transform the world so queer youth can experience radical acceptance and joy every day.

Tomorrow can be so much brighter with your help!
The truth right now is that LGBTQIA2+ youth ages 10-24 have suicidal thoughts at 3 times the rate of their peers. Yet, costs like health insurance and reliable transportation act as barriers between queer youth and the support they need.
But the amazing news? We know that queer youth who receive therapy and support from their parents, teachers, and community members are less likely to have those thoughts.
So 100% of your monthly donation as a Joyraiser gives queer youth the unique support they need. Every month, your contribution goes to programs like:
to pair queer youth with mentors in Metro Denver who can support them to lead their best, most authentic lives.
Big Queer, Little Queer
to offer free- and low-cost therapy services to queer youth across Metro Denver.
Joyride
School and Nonprofit Partnerships
to provide resources to educators, nonprofit teams, and families in Metro Denver so they can learn how best to support queer youth.

"I give to make sure Colorado's queer youth have the opportunities I never had growing up. Queer youth deserve to thrive."
— Joyraisers monthly donor
