Founded by Joseph Shelton (he/him) in 2021, Youth Pride is a sober, family-friendly Pride event for all ages. Youth Pride will be on Saturday, June 6th, from 11 am to 3 pm at the Hillside Community Center. We will have live entertainment, food, vendors, and activities.

This event is free and open to the public. Armed security will be present at the event to conduct bag checks and enforce IOYS policies (Brave Space Agreements can also be found below.) 

Thank you so much to CSAA Insurance Group, PFLAG Colorado Springs, Taft/Sherman & Howard, The Colorado Trust, UCHealth, and X1039 radio for being our supportive sponsors!
