Founded in 1993 by a group of volunteers, one·n·ten Youth Programs focuses on serving LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, ages 11–24, through social and service programs that include identity-specific programs, life skills and workforce development, housing assistance, health and wellness offerings, housing and workforce programs, and outdoor adventure programs. The organization states that its mission is to enhance participants’ lives by promoting self-expression, self-acceptance, leadership development, and healthy life choices. It also notes that its satellite sites offer a space and resources for LGBTQ+ youth in Arizona’s rural and underserved areas and that it provides empowering programs for LGBTQ+ youth across Arizona, including virtual and in-person programs.
The organization publicly acknowledges that the state of Arizona is the ancestral homeland of many Indigenous peoples and states that the land where its programs are held is part of this heritage. It encourages youth, employees, volunteers, and community members to learn about, honor, and respect Indigenous peoples of Arizona and their connection to the land.
Participants and alumni have shared testimonials about their experiences. Elliot, age 19, describes one·n·ten as providing “some of the most life changing support” and expresses gratitude for the people who work there. Artemis, age 24, calls one·n·ten “like a second home” and notes attending a satellite site since 2017. Malcom, age 21, states that one·n·ten “makes a significant difference” in life by offering a “supportive environment” and a “sense of community, guidance, and empowerment.”
