What’s the Youth Program all About?

The Rainbow Community Center’s (RCC) Youth Program fosters a positive self-identity for all LGBTQ youth.  Our Youth Program provides education, leadership, development/activism and socialization in a safe-space for all youth and allies who are seeking services in the community.

  • Get support
  • Make new friends
  •  Learn more about yourself
  • Learn more about the LGBTQ community
  • Get advice on how to handle experiences happening at home, work, school or church
  • Build Pride
  • HAVE FUN!
