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 Latter-day Saints or raised in the church, all are welcome what ever faith journey looks like. This includes siblings, friends, and allies!
“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.’”

“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. ”
BELONG’s mission is to host an annual event to help LGBTQIA+ teenagers and allies feel belonging and give them tools to build resilience and spiritual health in an identity affirming and religiously neutral space. Learn more about our mission and team here.
