Our Amazing Weekly Programs

WEEKLY WEDNESDAY

On Wednesdays from 3-6 PM, we host themed programs for LGBTQ+ youth ages 11-18. Our programs explore a variety of topics centered around art, education, nature, community, and offer peer-led programs once a month.

Weekly Wednesdays are always free and require an RSVP. All attendees receive a hot meal catered to dietary needs. There is a mix of regular and new attendees at most programs. New youth are always welcome!
