Are you LGBTQ+, between the ages of 12 – 18, and living in Hampton Roads? YOUth Matter is a social support group for local youth who experience marginalization based on their gender identity, gender expression, and/or sexual orientation. It is a space for LGBTQ+ youth to be their authentic selves, find and provide support, share resources, and build community.
The group is currently meeting over Zoom on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of every month from 4 – 5 PM. We also have a Discord server for this group that you are more than welcome to join. If interested in joining us via Zoom and/or Discord, please email Zain Welsh (he/him) at zwelsh@lgbtlifecenter.org.
