ALSO Youth Celebrates New Beginning

The Giving Coast

Thank you to everyone who joined the grand opening of ALSO Youth’s new Sarasota Center. Your support, smiles, and energy made the morning truly special. To those who couldn’t make it, we missed you! We hope to welcome you into our new space soon to see firsthand how your support helps empower LGBTQ+ youth across Sarasota and Manatee Counties. A special thank-you to Gulf Coast Community Foundation for sponsoring the event and to Toby Deutsch for generously underwriting our first year of rent. Because of you, this new chapter is possible. We’re also deeply grateful to HOODÄ“ for creating our community art piece  to BLVD Cafe for providing the delicious pastries that fueled our morning celebration, and to Robert McQueen and 1 Hot Cookie and Ice Cream for the iconic ALSO Youth celebration cookies! Together, we’re continuing to build a community where every young person can feel safe, seen, and celebrated.
