Howard Brown's Broadway Youth Center (the BYC) recently became the beneficiary of the outstanding support, talent, and services at Designs for Dignity, an organization that engages the design community to support other, community-based non-profits through outstanding design and improvement of the physical space. The BYC - a collaborative, LGBT and homless youth center that serves more than 5,000 at-risk young people each year - was in need of their help!
The design industry professionals at Designs for Dignity overhauled the BYC's facility - creating a more beautiful, functional, efficient, and client-friendly space. Their generosity and commitment to helping Howard Brown serve young, homeless/runaway, and at-risk LGBT youth has created an amazing new BYC!

Since 2004, the Broadway Youth Center (BYC) has been a safe space for homeless, LGBT and other at-risk youth, ages 12 to 24, to access multiple resources and services designed to promote their overall health and well-being, including: medical care; basic need drop-in services; housing linkages; crisis intervention counseling and psychotherapy; HIV/STD testing and prevention programs; tutoring and testing for youth interested in obtaining a GED high school equivalency diploma; life-skills workshops to help youth develop financial literacy, employment and independence skills; the nation's first LGBT-specific mentor program; and community-based research projects.
