MacPhee Centre operates as a national LGBTQ2S+ youth organization serving Canadians aged 16-29 through its headquarters and regional programming. The organization's Youth Advisory Committee integrates perspectives from LGBTQ2S+ youth representatives across provinces into program development and anti-bullying initiatives. Committee members apply their lived experiences to shape mental health resources and peer support frameworks. The Centre's signature event, L'OUTfest, showcases emerging LGBTQ2S+ performers and cultural programming through accessible ticketing models and digital distribution. Youth participants lead event planning, talent curation, and community outreach efforts that connect peers to available resources. The festival serves as a cornerstone of MacPhee's youth engagement strategy alongside year-round cultural programming. MacPhee Centre structures its mental health services, advocacy work, and community resilience programs based on direct youth input and leadership. The organization maintains dedicated channels for youth voices in strategic planning across mental health support, peer engagement, and resource development. Program design emphasizes accessibility and representation for diverse LGBTQ2S+ youth experiences across Canada.
