LGBTQ youth who attend this group can expect to sit down together with their peers over a meal, enjoy themselves, and engage in community conversation about things that matter to them. The goal of this program is to foster friendship, understanding, and community among the LGBTQ youth in Bridgeport and the surrounding areas.
