Join a safe support community where 2SLGBTQIA+ youth ages 13 to 24 are there for each other without fear of stigma, taboo, or shame. If you're Queer, Trans, Nonbinary, Genderfluid, Ace, Questioning, an Ally, etc — you are welcome and safe to be yourself with Give Us The Floor.
Upon sign-up, you'll find 25+ community-wide discussion channels covering a range of topics, ranging from serious topics such as body image, mental health, discrimination, BIPOC, and anxiety, to lighter content, including pets, memes, and more. You'll also have the opportunity to join a more focused small group consisting of up to 20 young people within two years’ age of each other, led by a trained youth facilitator. Try out new pronouns, get advice on coming out, celebrate your accomplishments and Queer joy, find support with friends and family issues or bullying, and find encouragement in your discussion group. Participants will also be invited also become a certified Youth Facilitator and earn community service hours after being an active participant in the app for a minimum of 2 weeks.
How we prioritize participant safety:
1. Privacy and safety are important and no personal identifying or contact information may be provided at any time within the app.
2. No one-on-one communication is permitted or even possible within app functionality. All communication exists within group discussion spaces.
3. All discussions are moderated by trained Youth Facilitators with the capability to hide and/or delete content that violates Community Guidelines.
4. Harassment or bullying of any kind is not tolerated and will result in removal from the app.
5. Each participant is asked and encouraged to flag any comment or thread that does not respect the rules, or just doesn’t feel right, using our easy, anonymous reporting feature within the app.
6. No adult content may be shared. Content shared in the app must come from an approved source and must be appropriate for users under age 18. We also may utilize third party AI tools for vetting content for safety and compliance with Community Guidelines. At no time will personal information about app participants be shared with third parties without prior authorization.
7. A Community Care and crisis response team with professional, clinical mental health backgrounds is available to support Youth Facilitators with situations requiring crisis escalation or other challenges during peak usage hours, seven days a week.
8. Participants may contact Community Care at any time in the app using the easy contact form or at info@giveusthefloor.org.
