Indiana Youth Group (IYG) is Indianapolis’s LGBTQ+ youth organization and the longest continuously operating queer youth organization in North America, founded in 1987 and serving young people ages 12-24 who identify as LGBTQ+ and their allies with free programming, safe spaces, peer support, leadership development, and school GSA capacity building across Indiana. IYG’s activity center provides after-school programming, dinner, and trusted adult mentorship for LGBTQ+ youth — many of whom face family rejection and isolation — and the organization was a founding partner of Trinity Haven, Indiana’s first transitional LGBTQ+ living facility. IYG is one of the most important LGBTQ+ organizations in Indiana and a critical resource for young Hoosiers who need a safe, affirming community.
