The Arnett House
A residence dedicated to providing housing and supportive services to LGBTQ+ and trafficked homeless youth. LGBTQ+ youth homelessness occurs at a disproportionally high rate for a variety of reasons, including homophobia/transphobia, family and community rejection, and failed support systems for LGBTQ+ youth. The Arnett House ensures safe housing and overall safe keeping of the most vulnerable citizens in our community.
The Big Queer Prom
An annual event that provides a safe, affirming, and celebratory space for LGBTQ+ youth to experience this rite of passage without fear of harassment, discrimination, or heteronormative pressures. It offers an opportunity for attendees to express their authentic selves, dress freely, and celebrate queer joy.
True Colors
A weekly LGBTQ+ support group for youth. The goal of this group is not only to bring together LGBTQ+ and questioning youth, to help them find community, support, and resources, but also to provide education and counseling around topics like gender expression, sexuality, coping skills for anxiety, building relationships, and setting boundaries.
