About QUEER LIFE SPACE INC

Queer LifeSpace (QLS) is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit counseling agency founded in 2011 that delivers affordable, queer-affirming mental health and substance-use services to economically vulnerable LGBTQIA+ people in the Bay Area. The organization also operates an internationally recognized clinical training program that prepares the next generation of culturally competent, queer-affirming therapists. In recent years QLS has remained active as a donor-facing charity and community partner, running signature fundraising events and community programs (including group therapy, youth services, an outdoor wellness program called Outlandish!, and supports for emerging queer artists). Public filings and organizational reporting show continued operations and fundraising activity through 2023–2025, with the organization sustaining service delivery while growing community-facing events and training activities.
