Welcome to One-In-Teen Youth Services!

We are pleased to have you visit our website and are always searching for ways to better serve GLBTQQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) youth who can visit One-In-Teen on the web. This site is undergoing constant expansion, so please pardon our mess in spots - our construction crew is made up entirely of volunteers and we are grateful for the time and energy they put into this site.

One-In-Teen Youth Services (OIT) is a Nashville-based youth agency serving sexual minority/GLBTQQ young adults from ages 14 to 21. OIT is the longest running such organization in the state of Tennessee and serves youth from all over Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.

Founded in 1989, and formally incorporated as a Tennessee non-profit [501(c)(3)] corporation in 1993, OIT was developed to assist sexual minority youth in creating support and leadership opportunities for themselves and their peers. Its services have expanded since its inception from a weekly support group, top now include support for school-based Gay/Straight Alliances (GSAs), community education, scholarhips, and developing alternative social activities for youth, the mose successful of which is the annual Alternative Prom.

Currently, we are offering services in Nashville, but we are committed to expanding our services to new locations outside Nashville. OIT offers services from its own independent space on 29th Avenue North.

For more information on the organization, attend one of our regular Wednesday evening meetings or an upcoming event, contact us via email, or call us on the phone. A volunteer is often available by pager during the business day and early evenings. If you need to speak to a volunteer, please leave a message when you call and the volunteer will be paged. When volunteers return the call, they are discreet and will treat any information shared as private.
