Hi! Nice to see you again!
We have some news! The Gilbert Centre's Queer and Trans Youth Program is partnering with various organizations to offer social connection and peer support for 2S-LGBTQIA+ youth aged 12-20! We will bring activities, snacks, good vibes, and a selection of gender gear on request. We can also provide referrals to other supports and services and offer education on 2S-LGBTQIA+ topics.
Keep an eye on our website, Instagram, and Facebook for our monthly program calendar! We are currently popping up throughout Barrie and Orillia with additional locations in the works.
We hope to see you soon!
Sending you joy,
Your Queer and Trans Youth Program Team
