Empowering BIPOC LGBTQI Youth of New Orleans

Founded in 2011, BreakOUT! is a youth-led intergenerational organization that organizes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI)  LGBTQI African Diaspora, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous, and mixed race youth ages 13 – 25 in New Orleans to end the criminalization of our lives.  We work together and within community and use a variety of strategies that increase leadership opportunities and build reflective self-determination rooted in healing and restorative justice.
