Abstract
Current research focused on preventative social support service programming for sexual and gender minority youth is scarce. Subsequently, the amount of inquiry concerning “how” and “what” our heteronormative society can provide these preventative social support services that are comprehensive to sexual and gender minority youth is insufficient. This proposed evaluation research will take place with the Lambert House: LGBTQ+ Community Youth Center, the only social service agency in Seattle, WA dedicated exclusively to sexual and gender minority youth for almost four decades. Data analyzed for this qualitative study, in the participatory evaluative context includes: review of program documents, field observation notes, and semi-structured interviews of program administrative stakeholders, program adult volunteers, and program participants (11-22 years of age). The aim of this analysis: 1) determined the initial program structure (i.e., program theory and logic models) based on the program stakeholder points of view, 2) corroborated the initial program structure in convergence with the program participants and adult advocates’ conceptualization of the intended program interventions and goals, and 3) assessed how well the final blueprint of local program structure and content align with evidence-based practice standards.
