SAFER NIGHTS FOR
A BRIGHTER TOMORROW
Through Kiehl’s Open Doors, we are committed to welcoming at-risk LGBTQIA2+ youth into safe and
supportive housing, empowering them with resources to thrive in society and driving the greater
community to take action.
PROUD & OPEN
Over the years, Kiehl's has stood in proud support of the LGBTQIA2+ community. With
Kiehl's Open Doors, we are engaging our greater community and partnering with
non-profits around the world to support homeless LGBTQIA2+ youth on their journey.
Through partnership with local NGOs, our goal is to help homeless LGBTQIA2+ youth find safe and supportive temporary housing.
From education to job search services to mental health counseling, we are committed to offering services and connecting at-risk youth with tools to grow and succeed.
We are empowering our greater community to recognize signs of at-risk homeless youth by training individuals and providing opportunities to directly support, from essential items to in-store donations to volunteering.
We’re partnering with The Ali Forney Center, a 24-hour organization whose doors are always open. Since 2002, the center has provided resources—from transitional housing to job readiness training—to help homeless LGBTQIA2+ youth have a safe and supportive place to go.
