A social group for ages 12-22, Rainbow Youth & Allies meets twice a month and offers a safe space for young people to come be themselves in an open, caring and accepting environment. The kids spend time in conversation, getting to know themselves and others, they watch movies and they plan special events. For many children this is the first place they can truly relax into who they are, explore their understanding of their orientation, express the gender they know themselves to be. Facilitated by several former RYA members, this group offers a safe haven for young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning folk and their allies.
Second and fourth Tuesday of the month
