Prism Is
Prism is a substance-free gay straight alliance for youth between 13 to 19 years of age. For the past five years Prism has provided a secure environment that encourages lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning and ally youth to celebrate who they are without shame or apology. Prism is a place to meet other kids like you, and to relax and socialize in a fun and safe environment. We respect the confidentiality of our members—your level of "outness" is respected. Prism strives to be non-discriminatory to all members—no one is forced to label themselves and assumptions are avoided. Prism is owned and operated by Mid-Missouri youth under the supervision of an advisory board. We formed in 1998 in the wake of the Matthew Shepherd murder when local youth decided they needed a safe space to come together, socialize, and support one another. Read more...
