Without access to support and exposure to bullying or discrimination, many rural LGBTQIA+ youth struggle to find belonging. Staff from One Colorado and the Hub for Justice-centered Youth Engagement partnered to develop Colorado\u2019s Queer Youth Network (CQYN) to foster a virtual community to support rural LGBTQIA+ youth, enhance belonging and acceptance, and feel empowered to make a change in their community. CQYN is offered virtually, every other week during the academic year, to create a consistent safe space for rural LGBTQIA+ youth and to offer opportunities to grow their unique leadership skills and connect with affirming LGBTQIA+ adults. This article highlights the development of the partnership, design of the virtual network, and challenges in recruiting youth who have been pushed to the margins.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248399221142629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,26]],"date-time":"2022-12-26T07:39:10Z","timestamp":1672040350000},"page":"606-608","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Creating a Virtual Network to Support LGBTQIA+ Youth in Rural Settings: Development of Colorado\u2019s Queer Youth Network"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8322-4290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Martinez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorado School of Public Health, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noah","family":"Jansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorado School of Public Health, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Garrett","family":"Royer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"One Colorado, Denver, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1920-6629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heather","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorado School of Public Health, Aurora, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15248399221142629","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10464-013-9586-2"},{"key":"bibr2-15248399221142629","unstructured":"Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
