Youth Outlook is a nonprofit organization in the mental health care field focused on LGBTQ+ youth. Founded in 1998, it is Illinois' first and longest-running agency dedicated to supporting this population. It provides a range of services across Illinois, including virtual and in-person drop-in centers for youths aged 12 to 20, programming for LGBTQ+ children in grades K-6, and caregiver support, along with community education and professional development. Based in Naperville, Illinois, the organization operates as a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit with statewide reach, addressing the broader experiences of LGBTQ+ youth across self, home, school, and community. In 2026 it announced that national advocates Crispin Torres and Chris Mosier will headline its Future Outlook Conference, reflecting its engagement with broader conversations around LGBTQ+ youth.
