Youth Programs
The New Haven Pride Center offers a variety of empowering and supportive programs for LGBTQIA+ youth in the Greater New Haven area. Our youth programs provide a safe and inclusive space for young individuals to connect, learn, and grow. From support groups to educational workshops and cultural events, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where young people can thrive. Our team is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth, and we welcome all who seek a community that celebrates diversity and fosters personal development.
