PROGRAMS THAT EMPOWER LGBTQ+ YOUTH

Our programs create affirming spaces where LGBTQ+ youth can connect, grow, and thrive through community, celebration, and support.

LGBTQ SAVES supports LGBTQ+ youth ages 12–24 while also offering resources for parents & educators.
Some programs are designed for our members, while others are open to the wider community.
