This event is for 2SLGBTQ+ youth, youth of queer and trans families and is open to those who are committed to creating safe, affirming, and equitable spaces for all.

 

The 519 Youth Pride: Queerapalooza 2.0 is a pride celebration organized by multiple youth programming from The 519 (Kids Action and Arts Space, Youth Action and Arts Space, Building Power Advocacy, FUEL, Trans Youth Mentorship, and Black Youth Gathering). It is for 2SLGBTQ+ youth as well as the youth of queer and trans families between the ages of 6 to 29 years of age to celebrate themselves and each other. Collectively, we strive to create a safer, supportive, and inspiring space where everyone – from facilitators to participants – can bring their full selves into the space, feel celebrated and continue to develop and strengthen their skills in self-expression.
