We can provide referrals, information, interpretation/ translation and supportive counselling to LGBTQ youth (13 – 24 years old). We also have weekly social activities that provide safe, queer and trans positive spaces to meet new friends.
We currently offer services in Arabic, Cebuano, English, French, Spanish, Tagalog, and Tamil. We can provide services in other languages through an interpreter.
