Phoenix Youth Kick Off Party!

COME JOIN US FOR OUR PHOENIX YOUTH KICK OFF PARTY! For years, the HATCH Youth program has provided resources for LGBT youth, lead community outreach programs and served as an affirming gathering space for some of Houston’s most vulnerable youth. Youth advocates and program leaders with HATCH and its parent organization, the Montrose Center, recognized that LGBT youth of color face special challenges as members of more than one minority group in a society which often presents heterosexuality as the only acceptable orientation. Hence, the Phoenix Youth program was born. Phoenix Youth is a program that serves to provide a safe space for LGBT youth of color ages 13-20 to share their experiences with racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia in a supportive environment. Everyone deserves to feel like they belong and the Phoenix Youth program provides LGBT youth of color in Houston the opportunity to be accepted, respected and welcomed.
