InsideOUT

InsideOUT is a national organisation with the vision for all young people of minority sexualities, genders and sex characteristics in Aotearoa New Zealand to have a sense of safety and belonging in their schools and communities.

We are largely fuelled by passion and volunteer power, and struggle to meet the demand for our services. Every donation helps us create a better future for our rainbow rangatahi and the people that care about them.

We are passionate about being run for youth, by youth and apply this value to everything we do.

We work with young people, whānau, schools, youth service providers and communities to achieve our aims of decreasing and preventing homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying, provide safer spaces and generally improving the health and wellbeing of the young people we work with. We have a commitment to recognising and valuing diversity and honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We are here to support young people with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, genderqueer, genderfluid, asexual, aromantic, takatapui, whakawahine, tangata ira tane, fa’afafine, mahu, vakasalewalewa, palopa, akava’ine, fakaleiti,fiafifine and fakafifine identities as well as everyone in between, not sure or who prefers a different label or even none at all!
