Rainbow Social, started in 2016, to ensure that LGBTQIA+ youth feel safe and welcome in the NEO Youth Center. This group is for youth and young adults ages 11-18. The group meets on the first Thursday of each month during the school year (no meetings June-August) at Bright Futures for Youth. This support group actively reaches out to the LGBTQIA+ youth community to let them know they are seen and loved. The get-together is a mix of fun social activities that promote protective factors to increase their health and well-being and help youth build friendships and self-esteem, as well as spending time with caring adults who listen without judgment.
