A faith-affirming space for LGBTQ+ youth

Belong Youth Conference provides a space for teens 13-18 to make connections with other teens and mentors who have walked on similar paths. This event has been designed to help build those connections, feel belonging, and how to lean into their spirituality. While belong was formed for LGBTQ+ youth who are religious or were raised in the church, all are welcome what ever their faith journey looks like. This includes siblings, friends, and allies!

What People Are Saying

“They loved it so much! They said it was the most spiritual experience of their life and that they had never felt the spirit really before. They finally felt they could be their authentic self and be religious.”

— Parent of 2025 Participant

“My son shared with me that he loved it so much, felt the spirit, and most of all told me that he finally found a place where he belongs. He has made friends and is staying in touch.
He told me, ‘I feel free to be who I am.’”

— Parent of 2024 Participant

“It was so healing for me, as an adult, to see these young folks being their authentic selves without all the shame I grew up with. Belong truly is for everyone.”

— Belong 2025 Counselor
