The Maine Youth Summit is an annual event for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and straight allied youth. The Maine Youth Summit provides a place for youth 22 and under to come together for a weekend with other youth from around the state and to educate themselves about the health issues of GLBTQQA young people.
The Summit, planned by youth from around the state, is funded through Portland Outright by the Bureau of Health.
