Our Mission

Mystic LGBTQ+ Youth Support Network works to ensure a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQ+ youth by providing programming, coordinating with community agencies and advocating in schools.

Our Goals

We are a grassroots organization committed to supporting the safety, well-being and celebration of LGBTQ+ youth in and around Arlington, MA. Our deepest wish is for LGBTQ+ youth to have always the freedom to express themselves openly in their identity.

How We Work

We collaborate with local and national organizations to provide programming, support, and educational opportunities for LGBTQ+ youth. We function as a bridging network among existing services in local schools, libraries, and other organizations serving youth.

Youth created this mural for the Arlington Food Pantry in collaboration with local artist Bren Bataclan.
