Dreams of Hope

This queer youth arts organization has been around since 2003!

Through the power of the arts, Dreams of Hope provides the region’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and allied (LGBTQIA+) youth a welcoming environment to grow in confidence, express themselves, and develop as leaders. 

DOH primarily serves ages 13-26 while offering intergenerational spaces for community members.
