We want to show people that these kids are valuable, they're classy, they're worth investing in and we are investing in them.
Imagine a place where young LGBTQ individuals can truly feel at home, surrounded by support and understanding. That’s exactly what Encircle offers.

From reduced-cost therapy to community-building activities, Encircle is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for LGBTQ youth and their families.
Stephenie shares the heartwarming story behind the organization's name, inspired by a mother’s unwavering love for her son, ensuring no one in the family ever felt excluded. This episode also highlights the incredible community support that has helped Encircle grow from a single house to multiple safe spaces. Whether you're a parent seeking guidance or a young person looking for acceptance, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical advice.
