Growing American Youth is a social support organization for youth who live in or near St. Louis and St. Charles, who are 21 and under, and may identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, or are questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity. Growing American Youth has been serving St. Louis area youth for over 30 years. The group meets every other Tuesday at 7 pm at the Youth in Need building in St.Charles, located at 1815 Boone's Lick Road. With adult supervision, the youth members discuss various situations in their lives, issues in the news and government, self-acceptance, coming out, and getting along with peers. Not all of the conversations deal with LGBTQ issues; youth may ask for advice or bring up anything on their minds, or the advisers can bring up a topic of discussion. Straight allies are very much welcomed to attend and participate in discussions.

Please join us for a confidential, safe space to talk with others about parenting an LGBTQ+ child, sexual orientation, gender identity and LGBTQ+ issues. All are welcome.

Our Ferguson meetings currently remain virtual. We will return to in-person once our members are comfortable. When we do make that change, we intend to have an ongoing virtual meeting option in addition to the Ferguson meeting.
