Jacksonville's LGBTQ history has always been rich and colorful, if often overlooked. Here's a tour of five sites across the Urban Core with ties to the city's LGBTQ story.

“JASMYN is Northeast Florida’s only youth center for LGBTQIA+ teens and young adults. And it’s the people and businesses of Jacksonville that have once again proven themselves to be the backbone of our nearly 29 years of empowering young people.”

JASMYN'S CEO Cindy Watson recently sat down with Jordan Wilkerson, co-host of First Coast Living.

Thank you, Jacksonville! We are honored to be named "Best Nonprofit" by Folio Weekly voters. On top of that, our Strides for Pride 5K was voted the "Best 5K!"

JASMYN, Jacksonville’s LGBTQ+ Youth Center, broke ground on Wednesday, 1/12/22 at 10 a.m. and announced its new construction project that will complete the organization’s campus.

“This expansion is a testament to the thousands who have walked through our doors feeling alone, misunderstood, rejected and scared, but who emerged with a clear understanding of their own self-worth and the confidence they needed to succeed and reach their potential.”

Between the 10th Annual Strides for Pride and a blossoming partnership with Stonewall Sports Jax, JASMYN was all over the May 2021 issue of The Resident. Check out the Strides article on page 13 and the Stonewall Sports article on page 27.

Thanks to a connection through a friend there, our CEO Cindy Watson was a guest on the All Things LGBTQ Interview Show in Vermont! Check it out!
