PFY 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Uplifting LI's LGBTQ+ Community since 1993!✨

In 1993, Long Island Crisis Center started Pride for Youth at a time when support and outreach to LGBTQ+ youth on Long Island was virtually non-existent. Pride for Youth has grown to encompass multiple services addressing many of the needs of LGBTQ+ youth and their families. Pride for Youth created the Coffeehouse program in 1995 – the first suburban coffeehouse for LGBTQ+ youth in the country. We

began airing public service announcements on MTV in the mid 90’s - one of the first mass media outreach strategies for LGBTQ+ youth nationwide. In 2001, Pride for Youth launched an action research project, which documented that 94% of Long Island students are exposed to homophobia in their schools and one in ten have been victimized because of their perceived sexual orientation. With the new millennium’s startling HIV resurgence among young gay and bisexual men of color, Pride for Youth led the way to building a healthier generation of young people through its culturally-sensitive Young Men’s Program, initiated in 2003

Pride for Youth seeded and stewarded Gay-Straight Alliances in several high-need Nassau County school districts from 2004 through the present. In 2006, working with corporate partners such as CMP Media, Pride for Youth launched an employment mentoring program for LGBTQ youth. In 2009, transgender teens found their own place to share their specific concerns and build pride through Pride for Youth’s Trans Support Group. In 2014, PFY implemented Long Island's first and only CBO based PrEP/PEP program, expanding this program to Queens in 2015.

PFY was honored to attend the opening of Nassau County’s Child Advocacy Center, led by our partners at

We’re grateful to have previously collaborated with The Safe Center LI during their time operating the CAC, and we look forward to continuing to support this important work as EAC leads this next chapter.

Centers like this are critical in ensuring that young people and families have access to compassionate, coordinated, and trauma-informed care, and PFY is proud to be part of a network of organizations committed to that mission.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, you are not alone. PFY can help connect you to life-saving programs and services - either through our own programs or through trusted community partners.

Support is here. DM us for more information!

🏳️‍🌈 Today is Le***an Visibility Day.
A day to celebrate, uplift, and honor le***an identities, voices, and community.

And today, we’re not just celebrating…
We’re making something BIG official:

✨ SAPPHIC SPACE IS RETURNING THIS FALL. ✨

When we first launched Sapphic Space, it was meant to serve 20 people.
Over 100 le***an and bisexual women showed up.

Because the need was real.
Because the space mattered.
Because community like this doesn’t exist nearly enough.

And ever since, you’ve been asking for it back.

We heard you. 💜

🍂 This fall, Sapphic Space returns - Long Island’s first exclusive space created for q***r women to connect, build community, and just be.

This isn’t just a program coming back.
It’s the return of belonging.
It’s the return of visibility.
It’s the return of space that was always yours.

📍 More details coming soon
👀 Stay tuned

👀 You might’ve seen this… condom prices are going up.

Yeah… we don’t love that either.

But let’s be real for a second - there’s no reason to spend your money on condoms and l**e when you can get them for FREE.

At PFY, we make it easy:
🏢 Stop by our Nassau & Suffolk locations for free condoms and l**e
📦 Or have condoms mailed straight to your door (yes, really) at LICCPFY.org

No cost. No stress. Just protection.

So before you check out at the store… check in with us instead 😉

Your health matters - and we’ve got you covered.

🚨 Breaking: NYS has struck down transgender bathroom policies in Massapequa and Locust Valley schools.
In New York State, transgender people have the right to access facilities that align with their gender identity.

At PFY, we remain committed to ensuring LGBTQ+ young people feel safe, affirmed, and respected in every space they enter. We offer free, confidential services for transgender individuals of all ages - including social programs, counseling, case management, assistance with name and gender marker changes, letters of support for gender-affirming care, and more.

If you or someone you know needs support, we’re here. DM us to get connected!
