Boston GLASS offers a range of services to LGBTQ+ youth of color and their allies in the Greater Boston area. As a leader in LGBTQ+ youth services, we also provide education and consultation to other providers and community organizations.
Our counselors provide culturally responsive mental health support and clinical case management. Services focus on the coming out process, gender identity transitions, healthy coping strategies, and support for family, work, and school issues. Available at our Boston location, we offer both drop-in sessions at GLASS and in-home therapy.
We offer free and confidential prevention and testing services for HIV, Hepatitis C, and STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis. Testing is provided Monday through Friday, and no appointment is necessary at both locations. We also provide same-day PrEP and STI treatment. Living with HIV? Visit our Boston site for STI testing, support groups, health navigation, and one-on-one support.
Youth can access a peer community, educational opportunities, field trips, social events, one-on-one mentorship, and leadership and employment opportunities. We employ youth leaders for public health work and offer opportunities to join our advisory board or participate in short-term projects.
GLASS extends its HIV/STI testing and counseling services to community partners through a mobile team that travels to events and organizations around Boston and Framingham. We also offer cultural competency workshops on topics relevant to the LGBTQ+ youth community, tailored to your needs and available on a sliding scale.
