Historical Information
The Richmond Organization for Sexual Minority Youth (ROSMY) was founded in 1991 by local educators, mental health practitioners, and members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community concerned about the welfare of young people struggling with identity issues. Their mission is to enhance the general well-being of sexual minority youth through support, education, advocacy and opportunities. ROSMY has grown to serve lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth ages 14-21 through a variety of services and programs in the Metro Richmond area. ROSMY provides services such as counseling, and opportunity for discussion in a safe and supportive environment.
Scope and Contents
The organization has been working with under-18 kids since 1991. The materials include board minutes, advertisements, photographs and other items related to the history of the organization.
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of organizational files, which includes agendas, minutes, reports and correspondence, published newsletters, memorabilia and event posters. The bulk of the collection dates from 1990-2005. There is a significant amount of information and files on the organization's board of directors' activities, various committee programs, and published newsletters devoted to fulfilling their mission of providing support, education, advocacy and opportunities for sexual minority youth under 21 years of age.
