The purpose of the group is to provide a safe environment for youth to connect with other LGBTQ+ youth, have fun, discuss topics that affect their lives, and learn skills that strengthen their health and well-being. With the foundation of the group being empowerment, the youth will serve as co-creators as they navigate experiential challenges and learn to express themselves through creative outlets. Group practitioners will guide and support youth to determine the topics and activities, which may include games, challenges, guest speakers, and field trips to LGBTQ-run businesses.

Back by popular demand, this will be a fun two night rustic cabin/camping trip for boys whom are looking to get to know other 9-10 year-olds, while experiencing the great outdoors! Activities will include fire building, fun games (get to know you activities), adventure challenges (low rope initiatives), and canoeing (weather dependent). The boys will learn problem solving and communication strategies, as they enjoy learning how to have a positive experience with each other. The event will be held at CedarKirk Conference center, just outside of Tampa. Please contact Logan Walters or Eric Starkweather for more details.

The purpose is to provide a safe environment for youth to connect, have fun, practice social distancing guidelines, discuss topics that affect their lives, & learn skills that strengthen their well-being. With the foundation of the group being empowerment, the youth will serve as co-creators as they navigate experiential challenges. Activities may include games, team challenges, sports, wilderness activities, beach day, and or bike rides to the pier. Each week there will be a “learning theme” including: keeping peers emotionally and physically safe, using effective coping skills, developing resolution communication skills, frustration tolerance, & talking about the challenges with Covid.
