Update #2
It's 2023 and a new year is upon us - which also means the return of Queer Youth Prom, April 15, 2023! We'll be sharing more information soon, and in the meantime we hope you share our excitement of being able to bring back one of our oldest events!
We are a coalition of Minnesota students, educators, families, community members, and organizations working within the broad context of schools to address the issues of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. We work to create healthy learning environments that are inclusive, supportive, safe, and where dual orientation and gender identity / expressions are respected. Your support helps make a difference in the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth in Minnesota, and donations help underwrite the fabulous events that we hold each year.
We currently have 3 events that we host in the community:
- Queer Youth Prom (held this year April 15 at the Hennepin County Library - Downtown Branch)
- Youth Pride (held June 3 at Como Park Pavilions in St. Paul) with performers, resource tabling, food and fun
- Q-Quest (this year November 15 & 16 at the Minneapolis Convention Center) is an event for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, and Allied youth. There are workshops, entertainment, conversation, and art with several hundred other LGBTQIA+ youth from across the Metro and Greater MN area.
