About Us
QYC is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and respectful environment for adolescents, in order to facilitate ongoing personal growth and the development of a positive sexual identity, whether they identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning.
History
Questioning Youth Center began in 1996 as a group of community members meeting to discuss concerns over the lack of available resources for GLBTQ youth. In 1997, the group reorganized into a steering committe for the purpose of forming a non-profit organization operating drop-in centers for GLBTQ youth aged 14 to 18. Since opening the first center in 1998, QYC has expanded to five centers operating in four different counties in Northwest Illinois, serving more than 600 youth aged 14 to 21. In 2002, QYC was awarded the Equality Illinois Award from the Illinois Chapter of the Human Rights Campaign. In 2003, QYC unveiled its first spin-off group, Our Turn, specifically designed to serve young women's issues.
