This is for youth ages 14-24 to create a safe and fun space to get to know LGBTQ youth in their area and support each other. This is great for young people looking to get involved & find a loving community. Santa Rosa hosts their youth group on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month, while Sonoma Valley hosts their youth group on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month. Drop-Ins welcome.

#2 Youth Leadership Team Launch

This is for youth ages 14-24 to be on a 6 month intensive team to create an advocacy project they decide that creates a more welcoming community. This is great for young people who want to be on a team, learn leadership skills, & want to take leadership roles. Without giving too much away, YLT is a beautiful and transformative experience where youth do a lot of self-digging and self-discoveries in community. Community is the essence of all of this. Youth interested can fill out the interest form and attend the info session, also listed here: inyurl.com/YLTinterest. Groups meet weekly & attendance is required.
