Programs and results
What we aim to solve
one-n-ten envisions a world where all LGBTQ youth and young adults are embraced for who they are, actively engaged in their communities, and empowered to lead. We are working to eliminate stigma, discrimination, and bullying, preventing our youth from becoming the leaders of tomorrow. We also work each day to reduce suicide, homelessness, and job instability of our youth through our programs.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

All participants are paired with a mentor who has committed to maintaining a relationship with their mentee for at least 1 year.
OUTdoor Camp
In 2014 we had our 7th Annual OUTdoors Camp for LGBTQ youth aged 11-24 with 150 youth participants and 60 adult volunteer counselors.
We provide empowering programming along with the usual camp recreation activities.

Charting impact
Five powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our mission is to serve LGBTQ youth and young adults. We enhance their lives by providing empowering social and service programs that promote self-expression, self-acceptance, leadership development and healthy life choices. <br/><br/>Together with our supporters we are aiming to eliminate the barriers our youth face to living full, exceptional lives. Hurdles such as homelessness, suicide, job instability and many more are confronted by our programs, delivering much needed support to our youth.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our programs include a youth center in central Phoenix, as well as 6 satellite locations throughout the state, delivering services to nearly 1,000 youth ages 11-24 each year. In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of service with programs including an LGBTQ summer camp, housing for youth experiencing homelessness, workforce development, and a high school diploma program. <br/><br/>Frequently youth say we are changing lives, but we also know we have saved many as well. Thank you for helping to make this work and our programs possible!
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
As a 25 year old organization, we have the systems in place to be able to take these issues on and ensure best practices are utilized in delivering on the programmatic goals. We work collaboratively with our community partners, supporters, and grant funders to accomplish this great work. Serving nearly 1,000 youth each year, we have the experience and systems to do so. Our new 5,000 sq ft youth center was opened in Sept. of 2017, offering welcoming space to our youth and the community. Our housing model is fully scalable to allow us to react quickly to funding changes. Our 20 member diverse board of directors includes experienced community members from all walks of life. Together with our staff of 11 full-time and 6 part-time employees, we have the capacity to deliver on even complex plans, while ensuring we are managing the nearly $1.4M yearly community investment that our budget represents.
How will they know if they are making progress?
We utilize annual and quarterly planning techniques, monthly board meetings, professional evaluations of programs and annual data from our youth participants.
