Want to get to know us first? Attend one of our monthly gatherings
We host monthly in-person gatherings, on the last Wednesday or Thursday of the month inviting young people to gather and build friendships and a lasting community. We believe in the power of storytelling so you will always be able to connect with others and hear someone share their experience, a reminder of why we campaign for change.
We post about our gatherings every month on our social media, but be sure to take a look on Eventbrite, where you can sign up for our upcoming events.
