On Saturday, February 27, 2010, the Board of Directors of Rainbow Youth Outreach (RYO) officially disbanded that organization and asked that CIADE take over operation of the existing youth program.
CIADE will continue to maintain the existing program with no changes to ensure a seamless transition. CIADE does expect to greatly expand the scope of our youth services in addition to the regular Monday evening meetings.
CIADE gratefully acknowledges the dedication and professionalism of all the past and founding RYO Board members, volunteers, staff and youth who worked so hard to build the program in Peoria, and on behalf of the entire LGBTQA community we salute and thank you. We can safely assure you that we will continue to keep the youth program strong and vibrant.
