10 Years of Dignity, Empowerment & Community

Our Mission

Out My Coset (OMC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering under-resourced and unhoused LGBTQ+ youth and adults, while extending vital resources to other marginalized communities.

Through elevated mobile clothing boutiques, educational workshops, creative arts, and leadership development, we address barriers to dignity, self-expression, mental wellness, and social connection.

Since establishing our South Florida presence in 2016, we have worked alongside community partners throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties to create affirming spaces where individuals are seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

We believe that access to dignity should never be a privilege.

What We Do: Our South Florida Programs

1. Mobile Elevated Boutique Pop-Ups  <-- It's a LINK!


We transform shelters, community centers, and service organizations into welcoming boutique experiences where individuals can select quality clothing, shoes, accessories, and personal essentials at no cost.

Our approach prioritizes choice, dignity, self-expression, and gender affirmation, while connecting participants with supportive community resources.

2. Queer Men's Empowerment Workshops (QMEW)   <-- That's a link too!


Our signature empowerment program creates intentional spaces for queer men, particularly men of color, to explore mental health, HIV stigma, relationships, body image, identity, and personal growth.

Through facilitated conversations, interactive experiences, peer support, and community-building activities, participants develop meaningful connections beyond traditional nightlife environments.


3. CAMBIO / CHANGE STUDIO  

Our newest arts and humanities initiative offers free, multicultural LGBTQ+ creative workshops and cultural experiences.

Through theater, storytelling, movement, film, fashion, and other artistic disciplines, CAMBIO celebrates cultural identity, preserves community narratives, and uses creative expression as a vehicle for healing and social change.




 


4. HER HALTH

Our women's empowerment initiative integrates HIV prevention education, health awareness, community dialogue, and access to essential resources, with particular attention to women and girls of color.
