KYC is "the largest and longest-standing organization in Ohio solely dedicated to serving and supporting queer youth. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we work to provide a safer place, programming, and leadership opportunities so that youth can be free to explore who they are and empowered to become their confident, truest self." The youth service agency serving the Central Ohio area is a community organization that provides a safe space Drop-In Center, daily virtual and in-person programing, housing support for homeless or housing insecure young people, professional training, consulting, advocacy, and "is the state hub for Ohio GSA (Genders and Sexualities Alliance) Network".
The Nordecke believes that when we are able to be who we truly are and love who we truly love we are all better off. Our commitment to bringing that about is the focus of this campaign but it lasts year round.
