Youth Assistance Organization (YAO or YOUTH.ORG)
is a service run by volunteers, created to help self-identifying
gay, lesbian, bisexual and questioning youth. YAO exists to
provide young people with a safe space online to be themselves.
This organization was formed to provide for the
needs of queer youth; the need for a rare opportunity to express
themselves, to know they are not alone, and to interact with
others who have already accepted their sexuality.
