Pot-luck style meet-up for LGBTQ youth & LGBTQ elders

Recent studies show that the aging LGBTQ population lacks connection to community, frequently ages alone or in isolation, and also feels that their activism and civil rights efforts aren’t being shared as part of a common history with youth. Our meet-ups will provide common ground for conversation about LGBTQ history and social justice concerns for both young and aging people.

Are you interested in joining a pot-luck? Please fill out our contact form or email info@makeitbetter4youth.org
