We are Encircle

At Encircle, our mission is to bring families and communities together to enable our LGBTQ+ youth to flourish and thrive.

We envision a world where LGBTQ+ youth can grow up in families and communities that are loved and celebrated. We believe in creating safe spaces that validate and affirm our youth’s identities and encourage them to imagine their futures as bright and unlimited.

To help make this vision a reality, we provide easily accessible world-class mental health services, support groups, and active programming while working to build loving communities for LGBTQ+ youth in areas where these supportive services are needed most.

In these challenging times, connection is more important than ever.

Friendship Circles connect LGBTQ+ folx in a safe, affirming environment, and our facilitators ensure everyone is included and heard.

We recorded a Friendship Circle to show you what they’re like.

All participants expressly consented to be recorded for this purpose. Friendship Circles are never recorded, and participants and their conversations are kept strictly confidential.

Transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals are welcome at programs they identify with.
