At Broadway Youth Center, we keep it cute! Keep it cute is a list of guidelines for behavior when you’re at BYC:
- Respect People’s Differences: Allow space for each person’s unique identity, gender, sexuality, race, personal history, culture, and all of the things that make us who we are.
- Build a Hate-Free Zone: Transphobic, homophobic, or any other harmful language is not welcome. Words are very powerful. By communicating from a place of respect, we can build a more caring BYC.¬
- Maintain a Violence-Free Space: Please keep the space free of violent physical contact, harmful language or tone of voice, and aggressive body language.
- Create an Alcohol-, Drug-, and Weapon-Free Zone: Please keep the space free from visible alcohol, drugs, or weapons.
- You Are Responsible for Your Own Belongings: BYC is a place where people bring themselves, their stories, and their belongings. Only touch things that belong to you.
- Practice Consent: Respect people’s personal space. Always ask permission to touch another person’s body, or enter their personal space.
- Talk to Staff If You Are Feeling Unsafe: We recognize that it is not always possible to maintain a safe space for everyone, but we are always open to feelings and feedback.
A donation to Broadway Youth Center helps provide supplies and care for LGBTQ youth and young people experiencing homelessness, ages 12 to 24. Please consider donating to our wishlist and supporting our important work today.

At the Governor's mansion demanding a budget for youth homeless services #ILBudgetNow
How do you use your voice to #FireBack against injustice and to celebrate your community? BYC staff attended the Unity Assembly at Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos High School last week and discussed the youth led #BlackLivesMatter movement, Arts as Resistance and the power of telling our story. A few students volunteered to perform afterwards and we came up with our very own hashtag, #FireBack, to raise our voices against discrimination.
