In a two-stage content analysis, this study explored LGBTQ newcomer inclusivity in 39 youth-serving organizations in Toronto and Vancouver, as well as programs and services offered to this subpopulation specifically. Stage 1 findings demonstrate that few organizations displayed inclusion of, and supports for, LGBTQ newcomers. Stage 2 findings show that programs and services offered to this subpopulation can be categorized into four themes: cultural and linguistic sensitivity, skills development & education, socialization & community connections, and health & well-being. Recommendations for best practices are discussed.enThis is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Journal of Gay & Lesbian Social Services on 09 Mar 2021, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/10538720.2021.1893242LGBTNewcomerYouthMental healthYouth organizationsInclusivityArticle
