THE OUT FOUNDATION

Outhealth: this program supports our mission by removing the barriers that block the transgender population from living as their true, authentic selves. We provide health services through initiatives like medical profession education, surgery education, sexual health navigation, self- care workshops,and more. The program is inclusive for all members of the lgbtq+ community. The transgender population is a current focus for this program. We provide the ability to those marginalized in our community to be comfortable in and celebrate their bodies. Funds were used to reach out lgbtq+ and bipoc health seekers and enthusiasts community. The out foundation serves the lgbtq+ community as it is disproportionately affected by barriers in accessing fitness, health, and wellness. When compared to the epidemiology of the heterosexual population, lgbtq+ people are at higher risk of substance use disorders, stds, mental health disorders, suicide, and cancer. The lack of empathy and societal rejection experienced by our community is often sourced as the root of several of these issues. Therefore, the out foundation is positioned as a resource for the community to decrease these numbers through advocacy, education, and the implementation of our programs.

Outaim (athletic inclusion movement): the outathletics inclusion movement program is designed specifically for anyone that seeks to create a welcoming and inclusive fitness environment for the lgbtq+ community. Outaim guides to incorporate inclusive policies, practices and procedures, coaching skills to uplift, embolden, and affirm their lgbtq+ clients and members physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being.
