The following case study offers a detailed description of a university–organization partnership, the basis for a collaborative outreach training program between community psychology graduate students and a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth center. Students and youth collaborated over 2 semesters on the creation of a social meeting venue within an urban LGBTQ youth‐operated center as part of a community outreach project in the students' course in community psychology. Semistructured interviews with the youth and the students provide first‐person accounts and perspectives of the project as an effective learning tool for training students in community psychology and in working with LGBTQ youth.
