OUT YOUTH AUSTIN is in need of your help and support. Last week the program director was fired by the University YWCA and the drop in center and national 1-800 Helpline was closed. OUT YOUTH AUSTIN is a peer support group for LesBiGay youth in Austin Texas. They also have the only toll free youth support line covering the nation which is opened 7 days a week. The University YWCA has acted as OUT YOUTH AUSTIN'S parent group for 4 years, yet was never attended to be controlled by the YWCA. Just before the YWCA took it's action Out Youth had announced it would be leaving the YWCA. Some believe this is why the YWCA has taken it's action, yet the YWCA has not explained it's actions. The youth and volunteers of OUT YOUTH AUSTIN have regrouped and are planning to restart the youth support group at MCC. In the meantime we need letters sent to the University YWCA requesting that they return all of OYA"s computers, library, phone equipment and all other OYA belongings. They also have what little money and grants which kept OUT YOUTH AUSTIN a float. Please, Please send these letters Send to. The university YWCA 55n IH 35 Austin, Tx 78702 512-478-9922 We also need any financial support anyone can send to help get us up and running again. You may send such to: OUT YOUTH AUSTIN INC.
