Come as you are, and connect with like-minded individuals!
Rainbow Lounge
In partnership with SAGE, this group is a great place to unwind, connect, and explore life’s experiences with others who share similar journeys. We'll dive into topics like what it means to identify as LGBTQIA+ as we age, the joys and challenges of growing older, ageism, relationships, health, and more. There's always plenty to discuss as we learn from each other's rich experiences!
Come relax and enjoy meaningful conversations with friends in the community!
Gen Q Youth Drop-In
Join us for GenQ, a drop-in program for youth ages 13 to 18 who identify as LGBTQ+ or are exploring their gender identity and/or sexual orientation.
GenQ provides a safe space for LGBTQ youth, fosters social connection to peers, encourages exploration into careers and post-secondary education, introduces youth to LGBTQ individuals working and thriving in the Hudson Valley and connects LGBTQ youth to positive role models and mentors who are LGBTQ or are allies. 🌈
Facilitated by Phoenix Laxton and Jester Garcia.
