Join our Young: Equal community and kick it with some nostalgia, board games style. We've got the space, the snacks, and the games; you can show up solo or come with a friend or two - there is plenty of room and even more game choices! From Exploding Kittens to Labyrinth to Jenga to Charades...you'll likely walk away with new friends and new games to love! Open to LGBTQ+ people and allies, ages 13-18.

How will you express your tie-dyed pride?? Each participant will receive a white Young: Equal t-shirt to tie-dye in any way they please. We'll have directions for patterns as well as scissors if you're feeling the need to craft a new t-shirt silhouette. Once you finish, you can choose to continue your creative expression through rock painting or watercolor pride cards...or maybe you'll simply grab a snack and mingle with new friends. This event is open to LGBTQ+ people and allies, ages 13-18. Pre-registration is much appreciated.
