OUr mission

OUT MetrtoWest fosters communtities where LGBTQ+ youth thrive

Our History

Since 2011, OUT MetroWest has risen to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ youth, launching new programs based on community demand. We have grown from a weekly meeting for high schoolers to now offering multiple weekly programs for middle and high schoolers, monthly programs for elementary youth and young adults, community-wide events and education sessions for hundreds of individuals to foster inclusive cultures in their own organizations.


What began as a weekly gathering in a church hall has expanded to 25+ programs each month, a permanent center in Framingham, MA, and Satellite events around the MetroWest region. Each year, we directly serve more than 375 youth and their families, and engage hundreds of additional people of all ages through our LGBTQ+ education sessions and community events.
