Hello. Thanks for clicking around our website. We're ROSMY, the Richmond Organization for Sexual Minority Youth.

ROSMY is here for all youth between the ages of 14-20 who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or are questioning their sexual orientation (which we abbreviate sometimes as "GLBTQ").

ROSMY offers the following programs and services:

Youth Support Groups: GLBTQ youth participate in structured support groups. Groups for ages 14-17 and 18-20 are held on Tuesday nights.

All new youth must attend a four week orientation program held on Monday nights.

Our Youth Center: Our center contains a youth lounge, computer lab with high-speed internet access, a library, foosball, snacks (sometimes), games, videos, and other stuff you might find interesting.

Youth Engaged in Leadership (YEL): For youth who are interested in developing leadership skills and becoming peer leaders and role models. YEL provides training in public speaking, board service, orienting new youth, outreach, leading workshops, and more.
