Welcome to Rainbow Spaces
Building spaces of belonging through inclusivity, equity, and pride
Rooted in community. Committed to equity. Helping you find your people
OUR MISSION
Rainbow Spaces was created to build spaces that are inclusive and effortless in communities whose diverse needs are often not addressed. Founded by both Queer and Ally community residents and leaders, we understand firsthand what it means to show up, take up space, and advocate for change where it matters most.
We believe that true change goes beyond striving for equality — it demands equity. This means honestly acknowledging our roots, our abilities, and our limitations, and actively working to address them. We know that success begins with comfort in our current space and the freedom to move through the world with pride in who we are.
Rainbow Spaces exists to bridge the gap between isolation and belonging. We help you find your people.
Our Goal

We create inclusive, free, spaces for LGBTQIA2S+ youth in the communities where they exist. Everything from monthly Dungeons and Dragons, to our yearly Inclusive Prom and Camping trip, we make sure fun and friends are foremost in our planning.

Want to support our outreach?
Donate and fund an inclusive event.
At Rainbow Spaces we reinvest our donations back into our community organizations that help us create inclusive spaces.
We work hard to make sure that we don't just create inclusive spaces, but equitable spaces that benefit our community and it's advocates that are working hard, such as the YMCA and Our Safe Space.
All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.”
