Odyssey Youth Movement

Good in concept. Myself, along with multiple people (some friends, but mostly acquaintances) have come out feeling unseen by the staff as they don't understand to differentiate drama and actual issues. For a center that deals with people they shouldn't be so conflict avoidant. That is a genuine concern multiple (including those who have worked there) have verbalized. This is a support space for 13-24 year old LGBT members. I think it would be logical for one of their staff to be a licenced counselor. That would balance the energy out and provide a reliable listener who could possibly even aid in conflict resolution. An alternate to staff just kicking out a supposed scapegoat (which has happened to a depressing amount of people).

very chill and very awesome, love how its just a house for kids and peeps! -Dani

I go almost every day, its the place thats stopped me from killing myself ngl, and its helped me with my transition goals

I attend Young Adult Drop-in on Thursday nights. they serve dinner and provide services/supply resources for youth & young adults who are struggling. a fantastic, comfy space for the LGBT+ community to gather and make friends.

Odyssey is one of the most friendly and encouraging spaces for the LGBT youth in Spokane. I feel welcome there and feel like I can come to the volunteers for anything and not be judged. They give out resources to the people who need them, and are an all around great place to go. I would recommend it to any of my friends. Thank you Odyssey for being a safe space for me!

I'm a member of Odyssey and it's hands down amazing! The volunteers and other members are supportive and and kind hearted people. It's a good place to go if you need support from unsupportive parents or you just wanna go because you want to

I've been volunteering at Odyssey for a year. It's a chill atmosphere and totally accepting of everyone - including me! Come by and be surrounded by people who care and support you. There are snacks galore too!
