What has been over a 5-year project for Full Spectrum Community Outreach in Youngstown, OH, has opened, offering the area's first LGBTQIA+ Adult 30-90-day Transitional Homeless Shelter. This shelter will be the first of its kind within a 40-mile radius of the Mahoning Valley. Currently, there is no 100% safe and accepting shelter in the valley, making those LGBTQIA+ individuals either living on the streets or in shelters that do not support them.

Full Spectrum Community Outreach is the Mahoning Valley's LGBTQIA+ Center. We are hosting our 7th Annual Winter GALA, formerly our Annual Holiday,  on Saturday, February 24th, 2024 from 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm at DiVieste's Banquet Center in Warren, Ohio.

We have great news from Full Spectrum Community Outreach. We are in the process of purchasing a new space for Our LGBTQIA+ Center in Mahoning Valley/Youngstown OH. This space comes with a separate property that will be turned into the valley's first LGBTQIA+ transitional homeless shelter. Currently, the closest friendly shelter is over 40 miles away. The wait lists are long, and if you grew up in the valley, you're forced to either leave or go to a shelter that does not support you. The center receives more than 5 calls a month from clients needing housing support, and sadly we have no 100% safe place to send them. That will change once this space is purchased.

Full Spectrum Community Outreach Center is very happy to announce the return of our 5th Annual Holiday GALA event. It will be hosted by Denise Russell will be held on Saturday, December 18th, 2021 from 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM at DiVieste's Banquet Centre in Warren, Ohio. Masks and social distancing are required. The event features a full dinner, swag bags, 50/50 and raffle baskets, and an open bar. Tickets are $55 per person or $400 for a table of eight.

Full Spectrum Community Center will be celebrating National Coming Out Day by providing a safe space at Westside Bowl, 2617 Mahoning Ave, Youngstown, Ohio, on Monday, October 11th, from 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM.

Pride in the Valley is an annual festival packed full of vendors, speakers, entertainment, networking, and social opportunities not only for those who identify as LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, agender, etc.) but also their friends, allies and community supporters. The event is provided by Full Spectrum Community Outreach, the Mahoning Valley's LGBTQIA+ Center. It takes place on Saturday, July 31, 2021 from 12PM-8PM in Courthouse Square Park - 161 High St. NW, Warren, OH 44481.
