The consequences of tobacco in our home state are devastating. Every year, smoking, vaping, and tobacco-related illnesses claim thousands of lives in our state. From heart disease to cancer, the impact is staggering—and it’s not just smokers who suffer. Secondhand smoke and vaping are also contributing to this crisis. Swipe through to see the harsh realities of tobacco use in Colorado and why we need stronger action to protect our communities. It's time to stop Big Tobacco in its tracks.

Thank you so much, Chancie (she/her), for coming into the IOYS community center to teach a muffin-making class! Young folx went through the principles of mixing wet and dry ingredients, so they will be able to do a variety of baked goods using this method ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍

✨ October IOYS volunteer spotlight: Julez (they/them) and why they volunteer ✨ "I volunteer at Inside Out because I want to show up for our community of queer youth who need support and a kind presence in their lives. In so many ways, I wish I had the version of me I am now around when I was a teenager struggling to find my place in the world. I see volunteering with IOYS as a way to pay it forward with kindness and compassion. To be a part of creating a space for youth who are trying to find themselves a soft place to land in this complex and tumultuous world." Thank you so much, Julez, for being an amazing IOYS Volunteer! We greatly appreciate your support ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍

Inside Out was honored to once again participate in the Colorado Springs World Affairs Council (CSWAC) international visitors program, where our program director Angie (she/her) hosted non-governmental organization leaders from all over the world at the IOYS community center! These programs help to deepen our understanding of each others' work and form stronger worldwide connections, and we always have a wonderful time participating. Thank you, CSWAC! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍
